COMMENTS
This sequence and A006519 (greatest power of 2 dividing n) are very similar, the difference being all zeros except for every 16th term (see A101119 for nonzero differences). - Simon Plouffe, Dec 02 2004
For all n congruent to 2^k (mod 2^(k+1)), a(n) is the same. Therefore, for any natural number m, the list of the first 2^m - 1 terms is palindromic. - Ivan N. Ianakiev, Jul 21 2019
Named after the Austrian mathematician Johann Radon (1887-1956) and the German mathematician Adolf Hurwitz (1859-1919). - Amiram Eldar, Jun 15 2021

FORMULA
a(n) = A003485(A007814(n)).
If n=2^(4*b+c)*d, 0<=c<=3, d odd, then a(n) = 8*b + 2^c.
If n=2^m*d, d odd, then a(n) = 2*m+1 if m=0 mod 4, a(n) = 2*m if m=1 or 2 mod 4, a(n) = 2*m+2 (otherwise, i.e., if m=3 mod 4).
Multiplicative with a(p^e) = 2e + a_(e mod 4) if p = 2; 1 if p > 2; where a = (1, 0, 0, 2). - David W. Wilson, Aug 01 2001

a(A005408(n))=1; a(2*n) = A209675(n); a(A016825(n))=2; a(A017113(n))=4; a(A051062(n))=8. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 11 2012
a((2*n-1)*2^p) = A003485(p), p >=0. - Johannes W. Meijer, Jun 07 2011, Dec 15 2012
Lambert series g.f. Sum_(k >=0) q^(2^(4*k))/(1-q^(2^(4*k))) +q^(2^(4*k+1))/(1-q^(2^(4*k+1))) +2*q^(2^(4*k+2))/(1-q^(2^(4*k+2))) +4*q^(2^(4*k+3))/(1-q^(2^(4*k+3))). - Mamuka Jibladze, Dec 07 2016
Asymptotic mean: Limit_{m->oo} (1/m) * Sum_{k=1..m} a(k) = 8/3. - Amiram Eldar, Oct 22 2022
