Also, apart from the first term a(0)=0, the number of terms in A179016 whose binary width is n+2 bits and whose two most significant bits are both ones. For example, there is one term 7 (111) in three-bit range; one term 15 (1111) in four bit range; two such terms, 26 (11010) and 31 (11111) in five-bit range; four terms: 49, 53, 57, 63 in six-bit range and eight terms: 97, 101, 104, 109, 112, 116, 120, 127 in seven-bit range.
For n >= 4, a(n) = number of steps to go from 2^(n+2) to (2^(n+1) + 2^n + 1) using the iterative process described in A071542.
Ratio a(n)/A213709(n) develops as: 0, 1, 0.5, 0.667..., 0.8, 0.889..., 0.765..., 0.8, 0.815..., 0.827..., 0.844..., 0.861..., 0.873..., 0.88..., 0.883..., 0.886..., 0.888..., 0.891..., 0.896..., 0.901..., 0.906..., 0.911..., 0.916..., 0.921..., 0.926..., 0.93..., 0.934..., 0.937..., 0.94..., 0.941..., 0.942..., 0.943..., 0.943..., 0.944..., 0.944..., 0.945..., 0.945..., 0.946..., 0.947..., 0.949..., 0.95..., 0.951..., 0.953..., 0.954..., 0.955..., 0.957..., 0.958...
