%N For any n >= 0: consider all pairs of numbers (x, y) whose binary representations can be interleaved (or shuffled) to produce the binary representation of n (possibly with leading zeros); a(n) is the least possible value of abs(x^2 - y^2).

%e For n = 5:
%e - the binary representation of 5 is "101",
%e - the possible values for (x, y), restricted to x >= y without loss of generality, are:
%e bin(5) x y |x^2-y^2|
%e ------- - - ---------
%e "101" 5 0 25
%e "1/01" 1 1 0
%e "10/1" 2 1 3
%e "1/0/1" 3 0 9
%e - hence a(5) = 0.
