COMMENTS
The minimal representation is unique. The number of powers of 2 can be either even or odd. Compare with A065621, in which the number of powers of 2 is odd. The Mathematica program computes the representation for numbers 1 to 2^m. a(0) = 0.
No term has odd part congruent to 3 modulo 4. - Charlie Neder, Oct 28 2018

FORMULA
a(2n) = a(n).
Express n as a sum of terms 2^x - 2^y, x > y, such that each term defines a run of 1's in n's binary expansion. Then a(n) is the sum of all 2^x + 2^y, with the exception that a term 2^(x+1) - 2^x at the end of a representation becomes 2^x. - Charlie Neder, Oct 28 2018
EXAMPLE
a(11) = 29 because 29 = 16 + 8 + 4 + 1 and 16 - 8 + 4 - 1 = 11.
a(100) = 164 because 100 in binary is 1100100. The two runs of ones correspond to 2^7 - 2^5 and 2^3 - 2^2, but since 2^3 - 2^2 is the last term of the representation, it can be replaced with 2^2. Therefore, a(100) = 2^7 + 2^5 + 2^2. - Charlie Neder, Oct 28 2018
