COMMENT

Sum{k=1 to n} a(k) = A160825(n).

Consider the related sequence {b(k)}, where b(1) = 1, b(n) = the smallest positive integer such that both b(n) and sum{k=1 to n} b(k) have the same number of 1's when they are represented in binary. Then b(1) = 1, and b(n) = 2^(n-2), for all n >= 2. (b(n) = A011782(n-1).)

FORMULA

a(2n) = 2^(n-1) and a(2n-1) = 9*2^(n-3) for n >= 3 (cf. formula for A160825). - Hagen von Eitzen (math(AT)von-eitzen.de), Jun 01 2009
