COMMENTS

For n even, sum_{k=1..n} a(k) > 0. For n odd, sum_{k=1..n} a(k) = 0. - James Spahlinger, Oct 13 2013

LINKS

James Spahlinger, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..10000

FORMULA

a(n) = (-1)^n * A050603(n).

G.f.: -1/x + (1 - x)*Sum_{k>=0} x^(2^k-2)/(1 - x^(2^k)). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Feb 28 2017

EXAMPLE

G.f. = 1 - x + 2*x^2 - 2*x^3 + x^4 - x^5 + 3*x^6 - 3*x^7 + x^8 - x^9 + ...

PROG

(PARI) a(n)=(-1)^n*valuation(n+2-n%2, 2) \\ Charles R Greathouse IV, Oct 14 2013

(PARI) {a(n) = my(A); if( n<0, 0, A = sum(k=0, length( binary(n+2)) - 1, x^(2^k) / (1 - x^(2^k)), x^3 * O(x^n));  polcoeff( (A * (1 - x) - x) / x^2, n))}; /* Michael Somos, May 11 2014 */
