A151747 Except for boundary cases (n <= 3, j = 0, 1, 2^i-1), satisfies a(n) = a(2^i+j) = 2 a(j) + a(j+1), where n = 2^i + j, 0 <= j < 2^i . 6

COMMENTS

The boundary cases are covered by the following formulas:

a(n) = 2n-1 if n<=3.

a(n) = 1+(3*i+1)*2^(i-2) if j=0.

a(n) = 3+ 3*2^(i-1) if j= 1.

a(n) = 2*a(j)+a(j+1)-1 if j=2^i-1.
