Starting with a(1) = 0 mirror all initial 2^k segments and increase by one.
a(n) gives the net rotation (measured in right angles) after taking n steps along a dragon curve. - Christopher Hendrie (hendrie(AT)acm.org), Sep 11 2002
This sequence generates A082410: (0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, ...) and A014577; identical to the latter except starting 1, 1, 0, ...; by writing a "1" if a(n+1) > a(n); if not, write "0". E.g., A014577(2) = 0, since a(3) < a(2), or 1 < 2. - Gary W. Adamson, Sep 20 2003
Starting with 1 = partial sums of A034947: (1, 1, -1, 1, 1, -1, -1, 1, 1, 1, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 23 2008
The composer Per Nørgård's name is also written in the OEIS as Per Noergaard.
Can be used as a binomial transform operator: Let a(n) = the n-th term in any S(n); then extract 2^k strings, adding the terms. This results in the binomial transform of S(n). Say S(n) = 1, 3, 5, ...; then we obtain the strings: (1), (3, 1), (3, 5, 3, 1), (3, 5, 7, 5, 3, 5, 3, 1), ...; = the binomial transform of (1, 3, 5, ...) = (1, 4, 12, 32, 80, ...). Example: the 8-bit string has a sum of 32 with a distribution of (1, 3, 3, 1) or one 1, three 3's, three 5's, and one 7; as expected. - Gary W. Adamson, Jun 21 2012
Considers all positive odd numbers as nodes of a graph. Two nodes are connected if and only if the sum of the two corresponding odd numbers is a power of 2. Then a(n) is the distance between 2n + 1 and 1. - Jianing Song, Apr 20 2019

			Considered as a triangle with 2^k terms per row, the first few rows are:
  1
  2, 1
  2, 3, 2, 1
  2, 3, 4, 3, 2, 3, 2, 1
  ...
The n-th row becomes right half of next row; left half is mirrored terms of n-th row increased by one. - _Gary W. Adamson_, Jun 20 2012

a(n) is the complement of the bit to the left of the least significant "1" in the binary expansion of n+1. E.g., n = 3, n+1 = 4 = 100_2, so a(3) = (complement of bit to left of 1) = 1. - Robert L. Brown, Nov 28 2001 [Adjusted to match offset by N. J. A. Sloane, Apr 15 2021]
To construct the sequence: start from 1,(..),0,(..),1,(..),0,(..),1,(..),0,(..),1,(..),0,... and fill undefined places with the sequence itself. - Benoit Cloitre, Jul 08 2007
This is the characteristic function of A091072 - 1. - Gary W. Adamson, Apr 11 2010
Turns (by 90 degrees) of the Heighway dragon which can be rendered as follows: [Init] Set n=0 and direction=0. [Draw] Draw a unit line (in the current direction). Turn left/right if a(n) is zero/nonzero respectively. [Next] Set n=n+1 and goto (draw). See fxtbook link below. - Joerg Arndt, Apr 15 2010
Sequence can be obtained by the L-system with rules L->L1R, R->L0R, 1->1, 0->0, starting with L, and then dropping all L's and R's (see example). - Joerg Arndt, Aug 28 2011
From Gary W. Adamson, Jun 20 2012: (Start)
One half of the infinite Farey tree can be mapped one-to-one onto A014577 since both sequences can be derived directly from the binary. First few terms are
   1,   1,   0,   1,   1,   0,   0,   1,   1,   1, ...
  1/2  2/3  1/3  3/4  3/5  2/5  1/4  4/5  5/7  5/8, ...
Infinite Farey tree fractions can be derived from the binary by appending a repeat of rightmost binary term to the right, then recording the number of runs to obtain the continued fraction representation. Example: 9 = 1001 which becomes 10011 which becomes [1,2,2] = 5/7. (End)
The sequence can be considered as a binomial transform operator for a target sequence S(n). Replace the first 1 in A014577 with the first term in S(n), then for successive "1" term in A014577, map the next higher term in S(n). If "0" in A014577, map the next lower term in S(n). Using the sequence S(n) = (1, 3, 5, 7, ...), we obtain (1), (3, 1), (3, 5, 3, 1), (3, 5, 7, 5, 3, 5, 3, 1), .... Then parse the terms into subsequences of 2^k terms, adding the terms in each string.  We obtain (1, 4, 12, 32, 80, ...), the binomial transform of (1, 3, 5, 7, ...). The 8-bit string has one 1, three 5's, three 7's and one 1) as expected, or (1, 3, 3, 1) dot (1, 3, 5, 7). - Gary W. Adamson, Jun 24 2012
From Gary W. Adamson, May 29 2013: (Start)
The sequence can be generated directly from the lengths of continued fraction representations of fractions in one half of the Stern-Brocot tree (fractions between 0 and 1):
   1/2
   1/3 2/3
   1/4 2/5 3/5 3/4
   1/5 2/7 3/8 3/7 4/7 5/8 5/7 4/5
   ...
and their corresponding continued fraction representations are:
   [2]
   [3] [1,2]
   [4] [2,2] [1,1,2] [1,3]
   [5] [3,2] [2,1,2] [2,3] [1,1,3] [1,1,1,2] [1,2,2] [1,4]
   ...
Record the lengths by rows then reverse rows, getting:
   1,
   2, 1,
   2, 3, 2, 1,
   2, 3, 4, 3, 2, 3, 2, 1,
   ...
start with "1" and if the next term is greater than the current term, record a 1, otherwise 0; getting the present sequence, the Harter-Heighway dragon curve.  (End)
The paper-folding word "110110011100100111011000..." can be created by concatenating the terms of a fixed point of the morphism or string substitution rule: 00 -> 1000, 01 -> 1001, 10 -> 1100 & 11 -> 1101, beginning with "11". - Robert G. Wilson v, Jun 11 2015
From Gary W. Adamson, Jun 04 2021: (Start)
Since the Heighway dragon is composed of right angles, it can be mapped with unit trajectories (Right = 1, Left = (-1), Up = i and Down = -i) on the complex plane where i = sqrt(-1). The initial (0th) iterate is chosen in this case to be the unit line from (0,0) to (-1,0). Then follow the directions below as indicated, resulting in a reflected variant of the dragon curve shown at the Eric Weisstein link. The conjectured system of complex plane trajectories is:
  0   -1
  1   -1, i
  2   -1, i, 1, i
  3   -1, i, 1, i, 1, -i, 1, i
  4   -1, i, 1, i, 1, -i, 1, i, 1, -i, -1, -i, 1, -i, 1, i
  ...
The conjecture succeeds through the 4th iterate. It appears that to generate the (n+1)-th row, bring down the n-th row as the left half of row (n+1). For the right half of row (n+1), bring down the n-th row but change the signs of the first half of row n. For example, to get the complex plane instructions for the third iterate of the dragon curve, bring down (-1, i, 1, i) as the left half, and the right half is (1, -i, 1, i).  (End)
From Gary W. Adamson, Jun 09 2021: (Start)
Partial sums of the iterate trajectories produce a sequence of complex addresses for unit segments. Partial sums of row 4 are:  -1, (-1+i), i, 2i, (1+2i), (1+i), (2+i), (2+2i), (3+2i), (3+i), (2+i), 2, 3, (3-i), (4-i), 4. (zeros are omitted with terms of the form a+0i).  The reflected variant of the dragon curve has the 0th iterate from (0,0) to (1,0), and the respective addresses simply change the signs of the real terms.  (End)

The a(n) appeared in the analysis of A220002, a sequence related to the Catalan numbers.
The first Maple program makes use of a program by Peter Luschny for the calculation of the a(n) values. The second Maple program shows that this sequence has a beautiful internal structure, see the first formula, while the third Maple program makes optimal use of this internal structure for the fast calculation of a(n) values for large n.
The cross references lead to sequences that have the same internal structure as this sequence.

The Dragon curve A014577 (but changing the offset to 1): (1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, ...) = the characteristic function of A091072. - Gary W. Adamson, Apr 11 2010
Also indices of 1 in A034947. - Jianing Song, Apr 24 2021
The terms in the sequence are the same as the terms in the odd columns of the table in A135764 with headings 4k+1: (1, 5, 9, 13...).  A014577(n) = 1 if n is in that set, but A014577(n) = 0 if n is in the set of even columns in the A135764 table. - Gary W. Adamson, May 29 2021
The asymptotic density of this sequence is 1/2. - Amiram Eldar, Sep 14 2024

Characteristic function of A091067.
Image, under the coding i -> floor(i/2), of the fixed point, starting with 0, of the morphism 0 -> 01, 1 -> 02, 2 -> 32, 3 -> 31. - Jeffrey Shallit, May 15 2016
Restricted to the positive integers, completely additive modulo 2. - Peter Munn, Jun 20 2022
If a(n) is defined as 1-a(-n) for all n<0, then a(n) = a(2*n), a(4*n+1) = 0, a(4*n+3) = 1 for all n in Z. - Michael Somos, Oct 05 2024
