%N Official position where binary expansion of n starts in the list of binary numbers in the binary Champernowne sequence A076478.

%C a(n) is the official position where the binary expansion of n appears. The binary expansion of n may also appear earlier, by accident, see A296355 and A296356.

%e Here is the list A076478 broken up to show the successive binary numbers (the indexing starts at 0):

%e 0,

%e 1,

%e 0,0,

%e 0,1,

%e 1,0,

%e 1,1,

%e 0,0,0,

%e 0,0,1,

%e 0,1,0,

%e 0,1,1,

%e 1,0,0,

%e 1,0,1,

%e ...

%e 2 = 1,0 starts at position 6, so a(2) = 6.

%e 4 = 1,0,0 starts at position 22, so a(4) = 22.

%o (PARI) a(n) = my (w=#binary(n)); return (2 + 2^w*(w-2) + w*n) \\ _Rémy Sigrist_, Dec 15 2017
