%F a(n) = A007814(A000073(n+1)). - _Michel Marcus_, Oct 03 2014

%F From _Amiram Eldar_, Jan 29 2021: (Start)

%F The following 7 formulas completely specify the sequence (Marques and Lengyel, 2014):

%F 1. a(n) = 0 if n == 1 (mod 4) or n == 2 (mod 4).

%F 2. a(n) = 1 if n == 3 (mod 16) or n == 11 (mod 16).

%F 3. a(n) = 2 if n == 4 (mod 16) or n == 8 (mod 16).

%F 4. a(n) = 3 if n == 7 (mod 16).

%F 5. a(n) = A007814(n) - 1 if n == 0 (mod 16).

%F 6. a(n) = A007814(n+4) - 1 if n == 12 (mod 16).

%F 7. a(n) = A007814((n+1)*(n+17)) - 3 if n == 15 (mod 16).

%F Asymptotic mean: lim_{n->oo} (1/n) * Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) = 3/2. (End)

%e For n = 7 we have T_7 = A000073(8) = 24 and the highest power of 2 dividing T_7 is 8 = 2^3.
