Sum of odd part of n and its double, fourfold, eightfold etc. <= n.
Starting with 1 = the ruler function triangle A115361 * [1, 2, 3, ...]. - Gary W. Adamson, Nov 27 2009
Starting with 1 and parsed into subsets of 1, 2, 4, 8, ... terms, sum of terms in the subsets = A006516: (1, 6, 28, 120, ...). Example: 120 = (15 + 9 + 15 + 11 + 21 + 13 + 21 + 15). - Gary W. Adamson Mar 18 2011
a(n) = Sum(even divisors of 2(n-1) not including 2(n-1) that are obtained dividing repeatedly by 2) + (greatest odd divisor of 2(n-1), including 1), for the initial case 2(1-1)=0 will be set to 0. E.g., (offset is starting with n=1) a(3) = Sum(even divisors of 2*(3-1)=2*2=4 not including 4 obtained dividing repeatedly by 2) + greatest odd divisor of 4 = (2)+(1)=3; a(4) = Sum(even divisors of 2*(4-1)=6 not including 6 obtained dividing repeatedly by 2) + greatest odd divisor of 6 = (0) + (3) = 3; a(5) = Sum(even divisors of 2*(5-1)=8 not including 8 obtained dividing repeatedly by 2) + greatest odd divisor of 8 = (4+2) + (1) = 7, etc. - David Morales Marciel, Dec 21 2015
For n >=1, a(n) is the sum of divisors d of n such that n/d is a power of 2. - Amiram Eldar, Nov 17 2022

FORMULA
G.f.: Sum_{k>=0} x^(2^k)/(1-x^(2^k))^2.
Dirichlet g.f.: zeta(s-1)*2^s/(2^s-1). - Ralf Stephan, Jun 17 2007
G.f. satisfies g(x) = g(x^2) + x/(1-x)^2. - Robert Israel, Dec 20 2015
n <= a(n) <= 2n - 1 for n > 0. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Feb 09 2016
Conjecture: a(n) = 2*n-A000265(n) for n > 0. - Velin Yanev, Jun 23 2017. [Joerg Arndt, Jun 23 2017: For odd n the conjecture holds, for even n induction should work.
Andrey Zabolotskiy, Aug 03 2017: Confirm: induction works, the conjecture holds for all n.]
a(n) for n > 0 is multiplicative with a(2^e) = 2^(e+1)-1 and a(p^e) = p^e for prime p > 2 and e >= 0. - Werner Schulte, Jul 02 2018
Inverse Moebius transform of A062570. - Andrew Howroyd, Aug 07 2018
Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ 2*n^2/3. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jun 11 2020
