COMMENTS
Notation: (2)[n](-1)
From David W. Wilson and Ralf Stephan, Jan 09 2007: (Start)
a(n) is even iff n in A001969; a(n) is odd iff n in A000069.
a(n) == 0 (mod 3) iff n == 0 (mod 3).
a(n) == 0 (mod 6) iff (n == 0 (mod 3) and n/3 not in A036556).
a(n) == 3 (mod 6) iff (n == 0 (mod 3) and n/3 in A036556). (End)
a(n) = A030300(n) - A083905(n). - Ralf Stephan, Jul 12 2003
From Robert G. Wilson v, Feb 15 2011: (Start)
First occurrence of k and -k: 0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 21, 42, 85, ..., (A000975); i.e., first 0 occurs for 0, first 1 occurs for 1, first -1 occurs at 2, first 2 occurs for 5, etc.;
a(n)=-3 only if n mod 3 = 0,
a(n)=-2 only if n mod 3 = 1,
a(n)=-1 only if n mod 3 = 2,
a(n)= 0 only if n mod 3 = 0,
a(n)= 1 only if n mod 3 = 1,
a(n)= 2 only if n mod 3 = 2,
a(n)= 3 only if n mod 3 = 0, ..., . (End)
a(n) modulo 2 is the Prouhet-Thue-Morse sequence A010060. - Philippe Deléham, Oct 20 2011
In the Koch curve, number the segments starting with n=0 for the first segment. The net direction (i.e., the sum of the preceding turns) of segment n is a(n)*60 degrees. This is since in the curve each base-4 digit 0,1,2,3 of n is a sub-curve directed respectively 0, +60, -60, 0 degrees, which is the net 0,+1,-1,0 of two bits in the sum here. - Kevin Ryde, Jan 24 2020

FORMULA
G.f.: (1/(1-x)) * Sum_{k>=0} (-1)^k*x^2^k/(1+x^2^k). - Ralf Stephan, Mar 07 2003
a(0) = 0, a(2n) = -a(n), a(2n+1) = 1-a(n). - Ralf Stephan, Mar 07 2003
a(n) = Sum_{k>=0} A030308(n,k)*(-1)^k. - Philippe Deléham, Oct 20 2011
a(n) = -a(floor(n/2)) + n mod 2. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 20 2015
a(n) = A139351(n) - A139352(n). - Kevin Ryde, Jan 24 2020
G.f. A(x) satisfies: A(x) = x / (1 - x^2) - (1 + x) * A(x^2). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jul 28 2021
EXAMPLE
Alternating bit sum for 11 = 1011 in binary is 1 - 1 + 0 - 1 = -1, so a(11) = -1.
