COMMENTS
Over the 2-adic integers there are 2 solutions to x^2 = 17, one ends in 01 and the other ends in 11. This sequence gives the former one. See A341538 for detailed information. - Jianing Song, Feb 13 2021

FORMULA
From Jianing Song, Feb 14 2021: (Start)
a(0) = 1, a(1) = 0; for n >= 2, a(n) = 0 if A341538(n)^2 - 17 is divisible by 2^(n+2), otherwise 1.
a(n) = 1 - A341540(n) for n >= 1.
For n >= 2, a(n) = (A341538(n+1) - A341538(n))/2^n. (End)
