Formula

a(n) = 2*A213714(n).

Also, by partitioning into sums of distinct nonzero terms of A000225: if n can be formed as a sum of (2^a)-1 + (2^b)-1 + (2^c)-1, etc. where the exponents a, b, c are distinct and all > 0, then a(n) = 2^a + 2^b + 2^c, etc. If this is not possible, then n is one of the terms of A055938, and a(n)=0.

Example

a(1) = 2, as 2 is the smallest natural number such that x such that x=1+A000120(x) (as 2=1+A000120(2)=1+1).
a(2) = 0, as there are no solutions for 2, because it belongs to A055938.
a(11) = 14, as 14 is the smallest natural number x such that x=11+A000120(x) (as 14=11+A000120(14)=11+3).
