COMMENTS

Binary expansion is 0, 101, 11011, 1110111, 111101111,... (see A138148).

9 + 8a(n) = s^2 is a perfect square with s = 2^(n + 2) -1 = 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, ...

Numbers with middle bit 0, that have only one bit 0, and the total number of bits is odd.

The fractional part of the base 2 logarithm of a(n) approaches 1 as n approaches infinity.

Also called binary cyclops numbers.

FORMULA

a(n) = 2^(2n + 1) - 2^n - 1 = 2*4^n - 2^n - 1 = (2^n - 1)(2*2^n + 1), n = 0, 1, ...;

G.f. = x(5 - 8*x)/(1 - 7*x + 14*x^2 - 8*x^3)

Recurrences: a(n) = (1/2)(7 + 8a(n - 1) + sqrt(9 + 8a(n - 1))), a(0) = 0; a(n) = 6a(n - 1) - 8a(n - 2) - 3, a(0) = 0, a(1) = 5; a(n) = 7a(n - 1) - 14a(n - 2) + 8a(n - 3), a(0) = 0, a(1) = 5, a(2) = 27.

a(n) = A006516(n+1) - 1.
