COMMENTS
Continued fraction expansion of sqrt(3) - 1. - N. J. A. Sloane, Dec 17 2007. Cf. A040001, A048878/A002530.
Minimum number of terms required to express n as a sum of odd numbers.
Shadow transform of even numbers A005843. - Michel Marcus, Jun 06 2013
From Jianing Song, Nov 01 2022: (Start)
For n > 0, a(n) is the minimal gap of distinct numbers coprime to n. Proof: denote the minimal gap by b(n). For odd n we have A058026(n) > 0, hence b(n) = 1. For even n, since 1 and -1 are both coprime to n we have b(n) <= 2, and that b(n) >= 2 is obvious.
The maximal gap is given by A048669. (End)

FORMULA
a(n) = n if n <= 2, otherwise a(A053735(n)).
a(A005408(n)) = 1; a(A005843(n)) = 2 for n>0;
a(n) = 0 if n=0, otherwise A000034(n-1).
a(n) = ((n+1) mod 2) + 2*sign(n) - 1. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Dec 06 2013
Multiplicative with a(2^e) = 2, a(p^e) = 1 for odd prime p. - Andrew Howroyd, Aug 06 2018
a(0) = A055034(1) / A000010(1), a(n) = A000010(n+1) / A055034(n+1), n>1. - Torlach Rush, Oct 29 2019
Dirichlet g.f.: zeta(s)*(1+1/2^s). - Amiram Eldar, Jan 01 2023
EXAMPLE
n=42: A007089(42) = '1120', A053735(42) = 1+1+2+0 = 4,
A007089(4)='11', A053735(4)=1+1=2: therefore a(42) = 2.
0.732050807568877293527446341... = 0 + 1/(1 + 1/(2 + 1/(1 + 1/(2 + ...)))). - Harry J. Smith, May 31 2009
