%N First column of A391957.

%C Powers of 2 in the factorization of A391956.

%C The first 82 terms were obtained from a brute force calculation of A391956. From these results a regular pattern is observed to determine more terms.

%C See also A391957 for a Python program. _A.H.M. Smeets_, Jan 13 2026

%F Conjectured: this sequence can be obtained by the following two rules:

%F (Eq.1) a(2^n) = 2*a(2^(n-1)) + 2^(n+1) - 1, a(1) = 0 (see also A392083) and

%F (Eq.2) a(n*2^m + 2^(m-1)) = a(n*2^m) + a(2^(m-1)) - 2^m*Sum_{i = 1..n} A001511(i).

%F The second rule (Eq.2) is a generalization of formula like:

%F a(2*n+1) = a(2*n) - 2*Sum_{i = 1..n} A001511(i),

%F a(4*n+2) = a(4*n) + 3 - 4*Sum_{i = 1..n} A001511(i) and

%F a(8*n+4) = a(8*n) + 13 - 8*Sum_{i = 1..n} A001511(i).
