COMMENTS

If binary(n) has adjacent 1 bits then a(n) = 0 else a(n) = (-1)^A000120(n).

FORMULA

A024490(n) = number of solutions to 2^n <= k < 2^(n+1) and a(k) = 1.

A005252(n) = number of solutions to 2^n <= k < 2^(n+1) and a(k) = -1.

A027935(n-1) = number of solutions to 2^n <= k < 2^(n+1) and a(k) = 0.

G.f. A(x) satisfies A(x) = A(x^2) - x * A(x^4).

G.f. B(x) of A000621 satisfies B(x) = x * A(x^2) / A(x).

EXAMPLE

1 - x - x^2 - x^4 + x^5 - x^8 + x^9 + x^10 - x^16 + x^17 + x^18 + ...

PROG

(PARI) {a(n) = if( n<1, n==0, if( n%2, if( n%4 > 1, 0, -a((n-1)/4) ), a(n/2) ) )}

(PARI) {a(n) = local(A, m); if( n<0, 0, m = 1; A = 1 + O(x); while( m<=n, m *= 2; A = subst(A, x, x^2) - x * subst(A, x, x^4) ); polcoeff( A, n )) }
