a(n) is the unique number k in [1, 2^n] and congruent to 1 (mod 4) such that k^2 + 7 is divisible by 2^(n+1).
The 2-adic integers are very different from p-adic ones where p is an odd prime. For example, provided that there is at least one solution, the number of solutions to x^n = a over p-adic integers is gcd(n, p-1) for odd primes p and gcd(n, 2) for p = 2. For odd primes p, x^2 = a is solvable iff a is a quadratic residue modulo p, while for p = 2 it's solvable iff a == 1 (mod 8). If gcd(n, p-1) > 1 and gcd(a, p) = 1, then the solutions to x^n = a differ starting at the rightmost digit for odd primes p, while for p = 2 they differ starting at the next-to-rightmost digit. As a result, the formulas and the program here are different from those in other entries related to p-adic integers.

FORMULA
|
a(2) = 1; for n >= 3, a(n) = a(n-1) if a(n-1)^2 + 7 is divisible by 2^(n+1), otherwise a(n-1) + 2^(n-1).
a(n) = Sum_{i=0..n-1} A318962(i)*2^i.

EXAMPLE
|
The unique number k in [1, 4] and congruent to 1 modulo 4 such that k^2 + 7 is divisible by 8 is 1, so a(2) = 1.
a(2)^2 + 7 = 8 which is not divisible by 16, so a(3) = a(2) + 2^2 = 5.
a(3)^2 + 7 = 32 which is divisible by 32, so a(4) = a(3) = 5.
a(4)^2 + 7 = 32 which is divisible by 64, so a(5) = a(4) + 2^4 = 21.
a(5)^2 + 7 = 448 which is divisible by 128, so a(6) = a(5) + 2^5 = 53.
