COMMENTS
The substrings (each equal to the binary representation of n) may overlap in the binary representation of a(n). a(n) = the smallest positive integer such that A147755(a(n)) = n.

EXAMPLE
21 in binary is 10101. 101 (5 in decimal) occurs twice in 10101: (101)01 and 10(101). Since no larger integer (when represented in binary) occurs more than once within 10101 and since no smaller integer (represented in binary) contains the substring 101 within it at least twice, then a(5) = 21.
