%N Characteristic function of A001317.

%C a(k) = 1 iff k is in A001317, and 0 for all other values.

%C The recursive formula is based on the fact that only from the terms of A001317 we can reach all the way down to 1 when repeatedly applying the map k -> A006068(k)/2 as long as it is possible to iterate (before A006068(k) is odd).

%C This sequence is not multiplicative. The smallest counterexample is for n = A000215(6) = 4294967297 which is the first composite Fermat number. In this case a(n) = 1 which is not the product of a(641) and a(6700417) which are both zero. - _Andrew Howroyd_, Aug 08 2018

%F a(0) = 0, a(1) = 1, and for n > 1, a(n) = 0 if A006068(n) is odd, otherwise a(A006068(n)/2).

%F a(n) = A209229(A193231(n)).
