COMMENT

a(n) is the index of zeros in the complement of the triangular number analogue of the Baum-Sweet sequence, which is b(n) = 1 if the binary representation of n contains no block of consecutive zeros of exactly triangular number length >1; otherwise b(n) = 0. The sequence b(n) = 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,... is not yet in OEIS, and is too sparse to be attractively shown.

FORMULA

a(n) is in this sequence iff a(n) (base 2) has a block (not a sub-block) of A000217(k) zeros for some k>1.

EXAMPLE

a(1) = 8 because 8 (base 2) = 1000, which has a block of 3 zeros, where 3 is a nontrivial triangular number (A000217(2)).

16 is not an element of this sequence because 16 (base 2) = 10000 which has a block of 4 zeros, which is not a triangular number (even though it has sub-blocks of the triangular number 3 zeros).

a(2) = 17 because 17 (base 2) = 10001, which has a block of 3 zeros (and is a Fermat prime).

a(4) = 34 because 34 (base 2) = 100010, which has a block of 3 zeros.

a(9) = 64 because 64 (base 2) = 1000000, which has a block of 6 zeros, where 6 is a nontrivial triangular number (A000217(3)).

2049 is in this sequence because 2049 (base 2) = 100000000001, which has a block of 10 zeros, where 10 is is a nontrivial triangular number (A000217(4)).

65537 is in this sequence because 65537 (base 2) = 10000000000000001, which has a block of 15 zeros, where 15 is is a nontrivial triangular number (A000217(5)), and happens to be a Fermat prime.

4194305 is in this sequence because, base 2, has a block of 21 zeros, where 21 is is a nontrivial triangular number (A000217(6)),

MATHEMATICA

f[n_] := If[Or @@ (First[ # ] == 0 && Length[ # ] > 1 && IntegerQ[(1 + 8*Length[ # ])^(1/2)] &) /@ Split[IntegerDigits[n, 2]], 0, 1]; Select[Range[500], f[ # ] == 0 &] (*Chandler*)
