Comments

When convolved with [1, 2, 2, 2, ...] gives the toothpick sequence A153006: (1, 3, 6, 9, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, May 25 2009

This sequence and the Adamson's comment both are mentioned in the Applegate-Pol-Sloane article, see chapter 8 "generating functions". - Omar E. Pol, Sep 20 2011

Formula

To get a nice recurrence, change the offset to 0 and multiply the g.f. by x as in the triangle in the example lines. Then we have: a(0)=0; a(2^i)=1; a(2^i-1)=2^(i-1) for i >= 1; otherwise write n = 2^i+j with 1 <= j <= 2^i-2, then a(n) = a(2^i+j) = 2*a(j) + a(j+1).

Example

From Omar E. Pol, Jun 09 2009, edited by N. J. A. Sloane, Jun 17 2009:
May be written as a triangle:
  0;
  1;
  1,2;
  1,3,4,4;
  1,3,4,5,5,10,12,8;
  1,3,4,5,5,10,12,9,5,10,13,15,20,32,32,16;
  1,3,4,5,5,10,12,9,5,10,13,15,20,32,32,17,5,10,13,15,20,32,33,23,20,33,41,...
The rows of the triangle converge to A151555.
