%N Sum of binary palindromes p < 2^n.

%C Partial sums of A206917.

%C Partial sums of A052955(n) terms of A006995; for example: A052955(4)=7, the sum of the first 7 terms of A006995 is 0+1+3+5+7+15+17=40 which equals a(4).

%H <a href="/index/Rec#order_03">Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (1, 8, -8).

%F a(n) = sum(k=0..n, A206917(k)).

%F a(n) = sum(k=1..A052955(n), A006995(k)).

%F a(n) = sum(k=1..(1/2)*(5-(-1)^n)*2^floor(n/2)-1, A006995(k)).

%F a(n) = (8/7)*((3/4)*((4-(-1)^n)/(3+(-1)^n))*2^(3*floor(n/2))-1).

%F G.f.: x*(1+3*x+4*x^2)/((x-1)*(8*x^2-1)). - _Alois P. Heinz_, Feb 28 2012

%e a(0) = 0, since p=0 is the only binary palindrome p<2^0;

%e a(3) = 16, since p=0, 1, 3, 5, 7 are the only binary palindromes < 2^3 and 0+1+3+5+7=16.

%Y Cf. A006995, A206820.
