COMMENTS

This sequence is an exception to my usual rule that when every other term of a sequence is 0 then those 0's should be omitted. In this case we would get A001511. - N. J. A. Sloane
To construct the sequence: start with 0,1, concatenate to get 0,1,0,1. Add + 1 to last term gives 0,1,0,2. Concatenate those 4 terms to get 0,1,0,2,0,1,0,2. Add + 1 to last term etc. - Benoit Cloitre, Mar 06 2003
The sequence is invariant under the following two transformations: increment every element by one (1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 2, 1, 4, ...), put a zero in front and between adjacent elements (0, 1, 0, 2, 0, 1, 0, 3, 0, 1, 0, 2, 0, 1, 0, 4, ...). The intermediate result is A001511. - Ralf Hinze (ralf(AT)informatik.uni-bonn.de), Aug 26 2003
Fixed point of the morphism 0->01, 1->02, 2->03, 3->04, ..., n->0(n+1), ..., starting from a(1) = 0. - Philippe Deléham, Mar 15 2004
Fixed point of the morphism 0->010, 1->2, 2->3, ..., n->(n+1), .... - Joerg Arndt, Apr 29 2014
a(n) is also the number of times to repeat a step on an even number in the hailstone sequence referenced in the Collatz conjecture. - Alex T. Flood (whiteangelsgrace(AT)gmail.com), Sep 22 2006
Let F(n) be the n-th Fermat number (A000215). Then F(a(r-1)) divides F(n)+2^k for r = k mod 2^n and r != 1. - T. D. Noe, Jul 12 2007
The following relation holds: 2^A007814(n)*(2*A025480(n-1)+1) = A001477(n) = n. (See functions hd, tl and cons in [Paul Tarau 2009].)
a(n) is the number of 0's at the end of n when n is written in base 2.
a(n+1) is the number of 1's at the end of n when n is written in base 2. - M. F. Hasler, Aug 25 2012
Shows which bit to flip when creating the binary reflected Gray code (bits are numbered from the right, offset is 0). That is, A003188(n) XOR A003188(n+1) == 2^A007814(n). - Russ Cox, Dec 04 2010
The sequence is squarefree (in the sense of not containing any subsequence of the form XX) [Allouche and Shallit]. Of course it contains individual terms that are squares (such as 4). - Comment expanded by N. J. A. Sloane, Jan 28 2019
a(n) is the number of zero coefficients in the n-th Stern polynomial, A125184. - T. D. Noe, Mar 01 2011
Lemma: For n < m with r = a(n) = a(m) there exists n < k < m with a(k) > r. Proof: We have n=b2^r and m=c2^r with b < c both odd; choose an even i between them; now a(i2^r) > r and n < i2^r < m. QED. Corollary: Every finite run of consecutive integers has a unique maximum 2-adic valuation. - Jason Kimberley, Sep 09 2011
a(n) = number of 1's in the partition having Heinz number n. We define the Heinz number of a partition p = [p_1, p_2, ..., p_r] as Product_{j=1..r} p_j-th prime (concept used by Alois P. Heinz in A215366 as an "encoding" of a partition). For example, for the partition [1, 1, 2, 4, 10] we get 2*2*3*7*29 = 2436. Example: a(24)=3; indeed, the partition having Heinz number 24 = 2*2*2*3 is [1,1,1,2]. - Emeric Deutsch, Jun 04 2015
a(n+1) is the difference between the two largest parts in the integer partition having viabin number n (0 is assumed to be a part). Example: a(20) = 2. Indeed, we have 19 = 10011_2, leading to the Ferrers board of the partition [3,1,1]. For the definition of viabin number see the comment in A290253. - Emeric Deutsch, Aug 24 2017
Apart from being squarefree, as noted above, the sequence has the property that every consecutive subsequence contains at least one number an odd number of times. - Jon Richfield, Dec 20 2018
a(n+1) is the 2-adic valuation of Sum_{e=0..n} u^e = (1 + u + u^2 + ... + u^n), for any u of the form 4k+1 (A016813). - Antti Karttunen, Aug 15 2020
{a(n)} represents the "first black hat" strategy for the game of countably infinitely many hats, with a probability of success of 1/3; cf. the Numberphile link below. - Frederic Ruget, Jun 14 2021
