COMMENTS
Describes one of the two patterns of spacings of preimages of quadruple points of the Hilbert curve, H(t), 0 <= t <= 1. If H fills the complex unit square [0,1] X [0,i], H(0)=0, H(1)=1, then 1/2 + i/4 is a quadruple point with preimages t in {5/48, 7/48, 41/48, 43/48}. If we can characterize the rest of the quadruple points along the vertical bisector 1/2 + iy, all the rest are generated recursively by the to-quadrant maps (H/i + i)/2, (H + i)/2, (H + i + 1)/2, and (i H + 2)/2. Julian Ziegler Hunts has privately observed that H = 1/2 + ir is a quadruple point for all dyadic rational r in (0,1/2). E.g., the 31 r with denominator 64, i.e., 1/64, 3/64, ..., 31/64 generate preimage 4-tuples

But the r in (1/2,1) are 1/6th as dense. The relevant quadruple points with denominator 2^n are 1/2 + i (6k - mod(5^n, 12))/2^n, 1 <= k < 2^n/6. E.g., if n = 6, then r is in {37/64, 43/64, 49/64, 55/64, 61/64} and the preimage 4-tuples of 1/2 + ir have differences {{-11, -11, 11, 11}, {-1, -1, 1, 1}, {-3, -3, 3, 3}, {-1, -1, 1, 1}}5/1024 (the reverse of) probably just -5*(this sequence).

FORMULA
a(n) = (2 + 4^A001511(n))/6.
G.f.: A(x) - 4*A(x^2) = x/(1+x).
From Alois P. Heinz, Sep 07 2016: (Start)
a(2^n) = A007583(n).
a(2^n+n) = a(n) + A000007(n).
(a(2*n)+1)/4 = a(n) for n>0. (End)
a(n) = A000695(n) - A000695(n-1). - Bill McEachen, Oct 30 2020
G.f.: Sum_{k>=0} 4^k * x^(2^k) / (1 + x^(2^k)). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Dec 14 2020
EXAMPLE
A(4) = 11. Thus
Table[unbert[1/2 + (2*4+1) I/2^n] - unbert[1/2 + (2*4-1) I/2^n], {n, 5, 9}]
{{11/256, 11/256, -11/256, -11/256},
{11/1024, 11/1024, -11/1024, -11/1024},
{11/4096, 11/4096, -11/4096, -11/4096},
{11/16384, 11/16384, -11/16384, -11/16384},
{11/65536, 11/65536, -11/65536, -11/65536}}
where unbert(H(t)) = {t}, the multivalued inverse Hilbert function (with I = sqrt(-1). See the definition of unbert[] in the MATHEMATICA section.
Note that this table must have n > 4, lest (2*4+1)/2^n > 1/2.
