%C Moser shows that the average order of a(n) is log 2, that is, Sum_{i=1..n} a(i) ~ n log 2. This shows that a(n) = 0 infinitely often (and with positive density); Moser asks if a(n) = 1 infinitely often, if a(n) = k is solvable for all k, whether these have positive density, and whether the sequence is bounded. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Mar 21 2011
