COMMENTS
A000695 is a 'pseudo-square function' that takes the binary expansion of n and moves bit k to bit 2k (that is, towards the most significant bits).
a(n) = 0 if and only if n is 0 or a power of 2.

EXAMPLE
For example 7 = 111, and PSF(7) = 10101 = 21, so a(7) = (49 - 21)/4 = 7.
13 = 1101 -> 1010001 = 81, so a(13) = (169 - 81)/4 = 22.
