Formula

From Robert Israel, Feb 27 2018: (Start)

For n > 1, a(2*n)=2*a(n).

a(2*n+1)=a(n+1).

G.f. g(x) satisfies g(x) = (2+1/x)*g(x^2) + x^2. (End)

a(n) = 3*A001316(n-1)/2 for n >= 2. - Georg Fischer, Jun 23 2021

Maple

wt:= n -> convert(convert(n, base, 2), `+`):
[1, seq(3*2^(wt(n-1)-1), n=2..100)]; # Robert Israel, Feb 27 2018

Mathematica

a[n_] := If[n == 1, 1, 3*2^(Total[IntegerDigits[n-1, 2]]-1)];
