First differences are in A161343. - Omar E. Pol, May 03 2015

Let M =

1, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...

8, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...

7, 1, 0, 0, 0, ...

0, 8, 0, 0, 0, ...

0, 7, 1, 0, 0, ...

0, 0, 8, 0, 0, ...

0, 0, 7, 1, 0, ...

...

Then M^k converges to a single nonzero column giving the sequence.

The sequence with offset 1 divided by its aerated variant is (1, 8, 7, 0, 0, 0, ...). (End)

Formula

From Nathaniel Johnston, Nov 13 2010: (Start)

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n-1} 7^A000120(k).

a(n) = 1 + 7 * Sum_{k=1..n-1} A151785(k), for n >= 1.

a(2^n) = 2^(3n).

(End)

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(log_2(n))} 7^k*A360189(n-1,k). - Alois P. Heinz, Mar 06 2023

Maple

b:= proc(n) option remember; `if`(n<0, 0,
      b(n-1)+x^add(i, i=Bits[Split](n)))
    end:
a:= n-> subs(x=7, b(n-1)):
seq(a(n), n=0..44);  # Alois P. Heinz, Mar 06 2023
