COMMENTS
Number of i such that d(i) < d(i-1), where Sum_{d(i)*2^i: i=0,1,....,m} is base 2 representation of n.
This is the base-2 down-variation sequence; see A297330. - Clark Kimberling, Jan 18 2017

FORMULA
G.f.: 1/(1-x) * Sum_(k>=0, t^2/(1+t)/(1+t^2), t=x^2^k). - Ralf Stephan, Sep 10 2003
a(n) = A069010(n) - (n mod 2). - Ralf Stephan, Sep 10 2003
a(4n) = a(4n+1) = a(2n), a(4n+2) = a(n)+1, a(4n+3) = a(n). - Ralf Stephan, Aug 20 2003
a(n) = A087116(n) for n > 0, since strings of 0's alternate with strings of 1's, which end in (1,0). - Jonathan Sondow, Jan 17 2016
Sum_{n>=1} a(n)/(n*(n+1)) = Pi/4 - log(2)/2 (A196521) (Allouche and Shallit, 1990). - Amiram Eldar, Jun 01 2021

a(n) = { hammingweight(bitand(n>>1, bitneg(n))) }; \\ Gheorghe Coserea, Aug 30 2015
CROSSREFS
a(n) = A005811(n) - ceiling(A005811(n)/2) = A005811(n) - A069010(n).
Equals (A072219(n+1)-1)/2.
Cf. also A175047, A030308.
Essentially the same as A087116.
