COMMENT

The nonnegative integers with an even number of even powers of 2 in their base-2 representation are given in A158704.

It appears that a result similar to Prouhet's Theorem holds for the terms of A158704 and A158705, specifically:

Sum[k^j, 0<=k<2^n, k has an even number of even powers of 2]

= Sum[k^j, 0<=k<2^n, k has an odd number of even powers of 2],

for 0<=j<=(n-1)/2. For a recent treatment of this theorem, see the reference.

EXAMPLE

The base-2 representation of 6 is 110,i.e. 6=2^2+2^1, with one even power of 2. Thus 6 is a term of the sequence.
