COMMENTS
a(0) = 0 by convention.
Every nonnegative number k appears A006456(k) times in the sequence, the last occurrence being at index A000975(k).
FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k = 1..A005811(n)} A101211(n, k)^2.
a(A000975(k)) = k for any k >= 0.
a(2^k-1) = k^2 for any k >= 0.
a(2^k) = k^2+1 for any k >= 0.
EXAMPLE
For n = 49:
- the binary representation of 49 is "110001",
- we have a run of 2 1's followed by a run of 3 0's followed by a run of 1 1's,
- so a(49) = 2^2 + 3^2 + 1^2 = 14.
PROG
(PARI) a(n) = { my (v=0); while (n, my (r=valuation(n+(n%2), 2)); v+=r^2; n\=2^r); v }
