Highest power of 2 dividing n-th Catalan number (A000108).
a(n) = 0 iff n = 2^k - 1, k=0,1,...
Appears to be number of binary left-rotations (iterations of A006257) to reach fixed point of form 2^k-1. Right-rotation analog is A063250. This would imply that for n >= 0, a(n)=f(n), recursively defined to be 0 for n=0, otherwise as f( ( (1-n)(1-p)(1-s) - (1-n-p-s) ) / 2) + p (s+1) / 2, where p = n mod 2 and s = - signum(n) (f(n<0) is A000120(-n)). - Marc LeBrun, Jul 11 2001
Let f(0) = 01, f(1) = 12, f(2) = 23, f(3) = 34, f(4) = 45, etc. Sequence gives concatenation of 0, f(0), f(f(0)), f(f(f(0))), ... Also f(f(...f(0)...)) converges to A000120. - Philippe Deléham, Aug 14 2003
C(n, k) is the number of occurrence of k in the n-th group of terms in this sequence read by rows: {0}; {0, 1}; {0, 1, 1, 2}; {0, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 3}; {0, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 3, 1, 2, 2, 3, 2, 3, 3, 4 }; ... - Philippe Deléham, Jan 01 2004
Highest power of 2 dividing binomial(n,floor(n/2)). - Benoit Cloitre, Oct 20 2003
2^a(n) are numerators in the Maclaurin series for (sin x)^2. - Jacob A. Siehler, Nov 11 2009
Conjecture: a(n) is the sum of digits of the n-th word in A076478, for n >= 1; has been confirmed for n up to 20000. - Clark Kimberling, Jul 14 2021

FORMULA

Writing n as 2^m+k with -1 <= k < 2^m-1, then a(n) = A000120(k+1). - Henry Bottomley, Mar 28 2000
a(n) = k if 2^k divides A000108(n) but 2^(k+1) does not divide A000108(n).
a(2*n) = a(n-1)+1, a(2*n+1) = a(n). - Vladeta Jovovic, Oct 10 2002
G.f.: (1/(x-x^2)) * (x^2/(1-x) - Sum_{k>=1} x^(2^k)/(1-x^(2^k))). - Ralf Stephan, Apr 13 2002
a(n) = A000120(A129760(n+1)). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jun 30 2010
a(n+k) = A240857(n,k), 0 <= k <= n; in particular: a(n) = A240857(n,0). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Apr 14 2014
a(n) = (n+1)*2 - A101925(n+1). - Gleb Ivanov, Jan 12 2022

EXAMPLE

From Omar E. Pol, Mar 08 2011: (Start)
Sequence can be written in the following form (irregular triangle):
0,
0,1,
0,1,1,2,
0,1,1,2,1,2,2,3,
0,1,1,2,1,2,2,3,1,2,2,3,2,3,3,4,
0,1,1,2,1,2,2,3,1,2,2,3,2,3,3,4,1,2,2,3,2,3,3,4,2,3,3,4,3,4,4,5,
...
Row sums are A001787.
