COMMENTS
Comments from N. J. A. Sloane, Oct 21 2019: (Start)
Warning: Note the definition assumes i <= 40.
Because of this assumption, it is not true that this is (except for a(1)=0) the complement of A075824 in the odd integers.
However, by definition, it is the complement of A328077.

2-1
4-3.....4-1
8-3.....8-1
16-9....16-3....16-1
32-27...32-9....32-3....32-1
