COMMENTS

Sequence is (essentially) obtained by complementing every other term of A014577.
Turns (by 90 degrees) of a curve similar to the Heighway dragon which can be rendered as follows: [Init] Set n=0 and direction=0. [Draw] Draw a unit line (in the current direction). Turn left/right if a(n) is zero/nonzero respectively. [Next] Set n=n+1 and goto (draw).
See the linked pdf files for two renderings of the curve. (End)

FORMULA

Recurrence: a(1) = a(4n+2) = a(8n+7) = a(16n+13) = 0, a(4n) = a(8n+3) = a(16n+5) = 1, a(8n+1) = a(4n+1).
G.f.: The following series has a simple continued fraction expansion:
x + Sum_{n>=1} 1/x^(2^n-1) = [x; x, -x, -x, -x, x, ..., (-1)^a(n)*x, ...]. - Paul D. Hanna, Oct 19 2012

EXAMPLE
|
Let F(x) = x + 1/x + 1/x^3 + 1/x^7 + 1/x^15 + 1/x^31 +...+ 1/x^(2^n-1) +...
then F(x) = x + 1/(x + 1/(-x + 1/(-x + 1/(-x + 1/(x + 1/(x + 1/(-x + 1/(-x + 1/(x + 1/(-x + 1/(-x + 1/(x + 1/(x + 1/(x + 1/(-x + 1/(-x + 1/(x + 1/(-x + 1/(-x + 1/(-x + 1/(x +...+ 1/((-1)^a(n)*x +...)))))))))))))))))))))),
a continued fraction in which the partial quotients equal (-1)^a(n)*x. (End)
