Comments

The numbers written in base -2.

a(A007583(n)) are the only terms with all 1s digits; the number of digits = 2n + 1. - Bob Selcoe, Aug 21 2016

Formula

G.f. g(x) satisfies g(x) = (x + 10*x^2 + 11*x^3)/(1 - x^4) + 100(1 + x + x^2 + x^3)*g(x^4)/x^2. - Robert Israel, Feb 24 2016

Example

2 = 4 + (-2) + 0 = 110_(-2), 3 = 4 + (-2) + 1 = 111_(-2), ..., 6 = 16 + (-8) + 0 + (-2) + 0 = 11010_(-2).

Maple

f:= proc(n) option remember; 10*floor((n mod 4)/2) + (n mod 2) + 100*procname(round(n/4)) end proc:
f(0):= 0:
seq(f(i), i=0..100); # Robert Israel, Feb 24 2016
