Formula

G.f.: Product_{j>=0} (1-x^(5*4^j))/(1-x^(4^j)).

G.f.: Product_{j>=0} (1+x^(4^j)+x^(2*4^j)+x^(3*4^j)+x^(4*4^j)).

a(0)=1 and for n>0, a(4n)=a(n)+a(n-1), a(4n+r)=a(n) for r=1,2,3.

G.f. A(x) satisfies: A(x) = (1 + x + x^2 + x^3 + x^4) * A(x^4). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jul 09 2019

Example

a(72) = 4 because 72 = 64+4+4 = 64+4+1+1+1+1 = 16+16+16+16+4+4 = 16+16+16+16+4+1+1+1+1.

Mathematica

n:=250;
r:=3;
(* To get up to n-th term, need r such that 4^r < n < 4^(r+1)  *)
h4 :=  CoefficientList[ Series[ Product[ (1 - q^(5*4^i))/(1 - q^(4^i)) , {i, 0, r}], {q, 0, n} ], q]
