%N For any n >= 0: consider the different ways to split the binary representation of n into two (possibly empty) parts, say with value x and y; a(n) is the least possible value of abs(x - y).
%H Rémy Sigrist, <a href="/A327191/b327191.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..8192</a>
%F a(n) = 0 iff n = 0 or n belongs to A175468.
%e For n=42:
%e - the binary representation of 42 is "101010",
%e - there are 7 ways to split it:
%e - "" and "101010": x=0 and y=42: abs(0 - 42) = 42,
%e - "1" and "01010": x=1 and y=10: abs(1 - 10) = 9,
%e - "10" and "1010": x=2 and y=10: abs(2 - 10) = 8,
%e - "101" and "010": x=5 and y=2: abs(5 - 2) = 3,
%e - "1010" and "10": x=10 and y=2: abs(10 - 2) = 8,
%e - "10101" and "0": x=21 and y=0: abs(21 - 0) = 21,
%e - "101010" and "": x=42 and y=0: abs(42 - 0) = 42,
%e - hence a(42) = 3.
