%N Positions of (-1)'s in A209615.

%C Also positions of 2's and 3's in A003324.

%C Also positions of 1's in A292077. - _Jianing Song_, Nov 27 2021

%C Numbers of the form (2*k+1) * 2^e where k+e is odd. In other words, union of {(4*m+1) * 2^(2t+1)} and {(4*m+3) * 2^(2t)}, where m >= 0, t >= 0.

%C Numbers whose quaternary (base-4) expansion ends in 300...00 or 0200..00 or 2200..00. Trailing 0's are not necessary.

%C There are precisely 2^(N-1) terms <= 2^N for every N >= 1.

%C Equals A004767 Union A343500.

%C Complement of A338692. - _Jianing Song_, Apr 26 2021

%e 15 is a term since it is in the family {(4*m+3) * 2^(2t)} with m = 3, t = 0.

%e 18 is a term since it is in the family {(4*m+1) * 2^(2t+1)} with m = 2, t = 0.
