Formula

G.f.: Sum_{k>=0} 4^k*x^(2^(k+1)-2)/(1+x^(2^k)); the g.f. G(x) satisfies G(x) - 4*x^2*G(x^2) = 1/(1+x).

a(0) = 1; for n >= 1, a(n) = A115637(n) - A115637(n-1). - Antti Karttunen, Nov 02 2018

Prog

(PARI) A115638(n) = if(!n, 1, A115637(n)-A115637(n-1)); \\ (Needs also code from A115637) - Antti Karttunen, Nov 02 2018
