FORMULA

a(n) = a(floor(n / 2)) * 2.

a(n)=2^A000523(n)

a(0)=0, a(1)=1 and a(n+1)=a(n)*floor(n/a(n)) - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Aug 17 2002

G.f.: 1/(1-x) * (x + sum_{k>=1} 2^(k-1)*x^2^k). - Ralf Stephan (ralf(AT)ark.in-berlin.de), Apr 18 2003

a(n) = (A003817(n)+1)/2 = A091940(n)+1. - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Feb 15 2004
