The number of 1's in the binary expansion of a(n) is given by

the partial quotients of continued fraction of 1/log(2):

1/log(2) = [1; 2, 3, 1, 6, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 10, 1, ...]

as can be seen by the binary expansion of a(n):

a(0) = 2^1

a(1) = 2^1 + 2^0

a(2) = 2^5 + 2^3 + 2^1

a(3) = 2^2

a(4) = 2^52 + 2^43 + 2^34 + 2^25 + 2^16 + 2^7

a(5) = 2^131 + 2^70 + 2^9

a(6) = 2^61

a(7) = 2^192

a(8) = 2^698 + 2^253

a(9) = 2^445

a(10) = 2^1143

a(11) = 2^1588

a(12) = 2^2731

a(13) = 2^18419 + 2^11369 + 2^4319
