A variation of A175046. Indices of record values are given by A319423.
From Chai Wah Wu, Nov 21 2018: (Start)
Let f(k) = Sum_{i=2^k..2^(k+1)-1} a(i), i.e., the sum ranges over all numbers with a (k+1)-bit binary expansion. Thus f(0) = a(1) = 2 and f(1) = a(2) + a(3) = 15.
Then f(k) = 16*6^(k-1) - 2^(k-1) for k > 0.
Proof: looking at the last 2 bits of n, it is easy to see that a(4n) = 2a(2n)-1, a(4n+1) = 4a(2n)+2, a(4n+2) = 4a(2n+1)+1 and a(4n+3) = 2a(2n+1)+2. By summing over the recurrence relations for a(n), we get f(k+2) = Sum_{i=2^k..2^(k+1)-1} (f(4i) + f(4i+1) + f(4i+2) + f(4i+3)) = Sum_{i=2^k..2^(k+1)-1} (6a(2i) + 6a(2i+1) + 4) = 6*f(k+1) + 2^(k+2). Solving this first order recurrence relation with the initial condition f(1) = 15 shows that f(k) = 16*6^(k-1) - 2^(k-1) for k > 0.

FORMULA
a(4n) = 2a(2n)-1, a(4n+1) = 4a(2n)+2, a(4n+2) = 4a(2n+1)+1 and a(4n+3) = 2a(2n+1)+2. - Chai Wah Wu, Nov 21 2018
EXAMPLE
6 in binary is 110. Modify each run by appending the opposite digit to get 11001, which is 25 in decimal. So a(6) = 25.
