%F a(n) = 0 iff n = 0 or n belongs to A175468.

%e For n=42:

%e - the binary representation of 42 is "101010",

%e - there are 7 ways to split it:

%e - "" and "101010": x=0 and y=42: abs(0 - 42) = 42,

%e - "1" and "01010": x=1 and y=10: abs(1 - 10) = 9,

%e - "10" and "1010": x=2 and y=10: abs(2 - 10) = 8,

%e - "101" and "010": x=5 and y=2: abs(5 - 2) = 3,

%e - "1010" and "10": x=10 and y=2: abs(10 - 2) = 8,

%e - "10101" and "0": x=21 and y=0: abs(21 - 0) = 21,

%e - "101010" and "": x=42 and y=0: abs(42 - 0) = 42,

%e - hence a(42) = 3.

%o (PARI) a(n) = my (v=oo, b=binary(n)); for (w=0, #b, v=min(v, abs(fromdigits(b[1..w],2) - fromdigits(b[w+1..#b],2)))); v

%Y See A327186 for other variants.

%Y Cf. A175468.
