Formula

G.f.: A(x) = (1-x+x^3)/(1-x)^3 - x^3/(1-x)^2 * Sum_{k>=0} x^(2^k + k-1).

a(n) satisfies: floor((sqrt(8*a(n) - 7) - 1)/2) = A103354(n) for n>=1, where A103354 = floor(x), where x is the solution to x = 2^(n-x).

Example

floor( (sqrt(8 * a(n) - 7) - 1)/2 ) = A103354(n) for n>=0:
[0,1,1,2,2,3,4,4,5,6,7,8,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,16,17,...];
i.e. the nonnegative integers with powers of 2 repeated.
G.f.: A(x) = 1 + 2*x + 3*x^2 + 4*x^3 + 6*x^4 + 8*x^5 + 11*x^6 + ...
G.f.: A(x) = (1-x+x^3)/(1-x)^3 - x^3/(1-x)^2 * B(x) where B(x) = 1 + x^2 + x^5 + x^10 + x^19 + x^36 + x^69 +...+ x^(2^n+n-1) +...
