Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A350554
a(1) = 0; for n>0, a(n) is the smallest k in A350552 which is not yet a term and is such that k + a(n-1) is in A350552.

EXAMPLE
a(2) = 2 = 10_2 and a(2)' = 2' = 1 = 1_2 have a single 1 in their binary expansion, a(1) + a(2) = 0 + 2 = 10_2 and (a(1) + a(2))' = (0 + 2)' = 2' = 1 = 1_2 have a single 1 in their binary expansion.
a(3) = 4 = 100_2, a(3)' = 4' = 4 = 100_2 have a single 1 in their binary expansion, and a(2) + a(3) = 2 + 4 = 6 = 110_2 and (a(2) + a(3))' = (2 + 4)' = 6' = 5 = 101_2, have two 1's in their binary expansion.
