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”).

COMMENTS
k is uniquely determined by finding the power of two for which k = 2^x - n has wt(k) = n.
Terms are not always increasing, since the number of 0 bits in n-1 reduces k.

FORMULA
a(n) = 2^A230300(n) - n.
a(n) = 2^(n + A000120(n-1)) - n.
a(n) = 2 * A129195(n-1) - n.
a(n) == n (mod 2).
EXAMPLE
For n = 4, 60 in binary is 111100, which has sum of digits of 4, and 60 + 4 = 64, a power of two.
For n = 5, 59 in binary is 111011, which has sum of digits of 5, and 59 + 5 = 64.
MAPLE
