A345401 a(n) is the unique odd number h such that BCR(h*2^m-1) = 2n (except for BCR(0) = 1) where BCR is bit complement and reverse per A036044.

Comments

This sequence is a permutation of the odd numbers.

We have BCR(a(n)*2^m-1) = 2n when n = 0 for m >= 1, and BCR(a(n)*2^m-1) = 2n when n >= 1 for m >= 0.

Why this exception when n = 0? As a(0) = 1, we have BCR(1*2^m-1) = 2*0 = 0 only for m >= 1, because, for m = 0, we have BCR(1*2^0-1) = BCR(0) = 1 <> 2*0 = 0.

Formula

a(n) = BCR(2*n) + 1 for n >= 1.

a(n) = 2*A059894(n) + 1 for n >= 1. - Hugo Pfoertner, Jun 18 2021

Example

a(0) = 1 because BCR(1*2^m-1) = 2*0 = 0 for m >= 1 (A000225).
a(1) = 3 because BCR(3*2^m-1) = 2*1 = 2 for m >= 0 (A153893).
a(2) = 7 because BCR(7*2^m-1) = 2*2 = 4 for m >= 0 (A086224).
Indeed, a(1) = 3 because 3*2^m-1 = 1011..11_2 (i.e., 10 followed by m 1's), whose bit complement is 0100..00, which reverses to 10_2 = 2 = 2*1.
Also, a(43) = 75 because 75*2^m-1 = 100101011..11_2 (i.e., 1001010 followed by m 1's), whose bit complement is 011010100..00, which reverses to 1010110_2 = 86 = 2*43.
