COMMENT

Also number of odd entries in n-th row of triangle of Stirling numbers of the second kind (A008277). - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Feb 28 2004

Contribution from Javier Torres (adaycalledzero(AT)hotmail.com), Jul 26 2009: (Start)

It appears that are also the odd entries in alternated diagonals in Pascal's triangle at 45 degrees slope

FORMULA

For n > 0, a(n) = A002487(n-1) + A002487(n) = A002487(2n-1).

a(0)=1; for n>=1 a(n)=sum(k=0, n-1, C(n-1+k, n-1-k) mod 2 ) - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Jun 20 2003

a(n+1)=sum{k=0..n, mod(binomial(2n-k, k), 2)}; a(n)=0^n+sum{k=0..n-1, mod(binomial(2(n-1)-k, k), 2)}; - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Dec 11 2004

a(n)=sum{k=0..n, mod(C(n+k,2k),2)}; - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Jun 12 2006

EXAMPLE

[ 0/1; 1/1; ] 1/2; 1/3, 2/3; 1/4, 2/5, 3/5, 3/4; 1/5, 2/7, 3/8, 3/7, 4/7, 5/8, 5/7, 4/5;...

MAPLE

SB01Den := proc(n) option remember; local r; if(n <= 1) then RETURN(n+1); fi; r := n - 2^floor_log_2(n); if(0 = (floor((1+r)/2) mod 2)) then RETURN(2*SB01Den(floor(n/2)) - SB01Den(floor(n/4))); else RETURN(SB01Den(floor(n/2)) + SB01Den(floor(n/4))); fi; end;

[seq(SB01Den(n), n=0..64)]; # starts as [1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, ...]

PROGRAM

(PARI) a(n)=if(n<1, n==0, n--; sum(k=0, n, binomial(n+k, n-k)%2))

(PARI) a(n)=local(m); if(n<2, n>=0, m=2^length(binary(n-1)); a(n-m/2)+a(m-n+1)) /* Michael Somos May 30 2005 */
