COMMENTS
a(n) is also the number of distinct parts in the integer partition having viabin number n. The viabin number of an integer partition is defined in the following way. Consider the southeast border of the Ferrers board of the integer partition and consider the binary number obtained by replacing each east step with 1 and each north step, except the last one, with 0. The corresponding decimal form is, by definition, the viabin number of the given integer partition. "Viabin" is coined from "via binary". For example, consider the integer partition [2,2,2,1]. The southeast border of its Ferrers board yields 10100, leading to the viabin number 20. - Emeric Deutsch, Jul 24 2017

FORMULA
a(n) = ceiling(A005811(n)/2) = A005811(n) - A033264(n). If 2^k <= n < 3*2^(k-1) then a(n) = a(n-2^k)+1; if 3*2^(k-1) <= n < 2^(k+1) then a(n) = a(n-2^k).
a(2n) = a(n), a(2n+1) = a(n) + [n is even]. - Ralf Stephan, Aug 20 2003
G.f.: (1/(1-x)) * Sum_{k>=0} (t/(1+t))/(1+t^2), where t=x^2^k. - Ralf Stephan, Sep 07 2003
a(n) = A000120(n) - A014081(n) = A037800(n) + 1, n>0. - Ralf Stephan, Sep 10 2003
EXAMPLE
a(11) = 2 since 11 is 1011 in binary with two runs of 1's.
a(12) = 1 since 12 is 1100 in binary with one run of 1's.
