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”).

FORMULA
a(2n + 1) = a(n).
a(4n) = a(2n) with a(0) = 1.
a(4n + 2) = 2*b(n), b(2n + 1) = 2*b(n), b(2n) = 3*c(n - 1, 1) with b(0) = 1.
c(2n + 1, k) = c(n, k), c(4n + 2, k) = (k + 2)*c(2n, k), c(4n, k) = (k + 3)*c(n - 1, k + 1) with c(0, k) = 1.
Another way to compute a(4n + 2):
a(2*(4^n - 1)/3) = (n + 1)!.
a(2^(2m)*(2k + 1) + 2*(4^m - 1)/3) = (m + 1)*a(2^(2m)*k + 2*(4^m - 1)/3).
a(2^(2m + 1)*(2k + 1) + 2*(4^(m + 1) - 1)/3) = a(2^(2m + 1)*k + 2*(4^(m + 1) - 1)/3).
Note that a(4n + 2) is completely defined by these 3 last formulas. However, it looks like that it is not so easy to identify m and k for a given n, which makes these formulas useless for computing this sequence.
EXAMPLE
a(6) = 4 because the binary expansion of 6 is 110 and we have [(10), 1(10)] -> [1, 1]. Increasing these values by 1 gives us 2*2 = 4.
a(18) = 6 because the binary expansion of 18 is 10010 and we have [(10), (10)0(10)] -> [1, 2]. Increasing these values by 1 gives us 2*3 = 6.
a(26) = 18 because the binary expansion of 26 is 11010 and we have [(10), (10)(10), 1(10)(10)] -> [1, 2, 2]. Increasing these values by 1 gives us 2*3*3 = 18.
For n=482, the bits of n and the resulting product for a(n) are
n = 482 = binary 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 0
a(n) = 162 = 3*3*3*3 *2
n=3863 = binary 111100010111 is the same a(n) = 162 since its final trailing "111" has no effect.
