%C It appears that a(n) is the least positive number with binary expansion Sum_{k = 0..w} b_k * 2^k such that the polynomial Sum_{k = 0..w} (X+k)^n * (-1)^b_k is constant. - _Rémy Sigrist_, Sep 15 2020

%F The "~" operator, as used here, represents bitwise complement. a(0) = 1. a(n) = a(n-1) followed by ~a(n-1).

%o (Pseudocode)

%o function invert(string s) returns string { s.replace("0","2"); s.replace("1","0"); s.replace("2","1"); }

%o function f(int n) returns string { if (n==0) return "1"; return concat(f(n-1),invert(f(n-1))); } // Blatant opportunity for optimization

%o function a(int n) returns int { return f(n).InterpretAsBinary(); }
