a(n) is the number at the apex of a triangle whose base contains the distinct powers of 2 summing to n (in ascending order), and each number in a higher row is the sum of the two numbers directly below it; a(0) = 0.

FORMULA
a(n) >= n with equality iff n = 0 or n belongs to A048645.
a(2*n) = 2*a(n).
EXAMPLE
For n = 27:
- we have the following triangle:
47
13 34
3 10 24
1 2 8 16
- so a(27) = 47.
PROG
(PARI) a(n) = { my (b=vector(hammingweight(n))); for (k=1, #b, n-=b[k]=2^valuation(n, 2)); while (#b>1, b=vector(#b-1, k, b[k+1]+b[k])); if (#b, b[1], 0) }
