Theorem: First differences give A036585. (Observed by Franklin T. Adams-Watters.)
Proof from Max Alekseyev, Aug 30 2006 (edited by N. J. A. Sloane, Jan 05 2021): (Start)
Observe that if the last bit of a(n) is deleted, we get the nonnegative numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, ... in order.
The last bit in a(n+1) is 1 iff the number of bits in n is odd, that is, iff A010060(n+1) is 1.
So, taking into account the different offsets here and in A010060, we have a(n) = 2*(n-1) + A010060(n-1).
Therefore the first differences of the present sequence equal 2 + first differences of A010060, which equals A036585.  QED (End)
Integers k such that A010060(k-1)=0. - Benoit Cloitre, Nov 15 2003
Indices of zeros in the Thue-Morse sequence A010060 shifted by 1. - Tanya Khovanova, Feb 13 2009
Conjecture, checked up to 10^6: a(n) is also the sequence of numbers k representable as k = ror(x) XOR rol(x) (for some integer x) where ror(x)=A038572(x) is x rotated one binary place to the right, rol(x)=A006257(x) is x rotated one binary place to the left, and XOR is the binary exclusive-or operator. - Alex Ratushnyak, May 14 2016
From Charlie Neder, Oct 07 2018: (Start)
Conjecture is true: ror(x) and rol(x) have an even number of 1 bits in total (= 2 * A000120(x)), and XOR preserves the parity of this total, so the resulting number must have an even number of 1 bits. An x can be constructed corresponding to a(n) like so:
If the number of bits in a(n) is even, add a leading 0 so a(n) is 2k+1 bits long.
Do an inverse shuffle on a(n), then "divide" by 11, rotate the result k bits to the right, and shuffle to get x. (End)
Numbers of the form m XOR (2*m) for some m >= 0. - Rémy Sigrist, Feb 07 2021
The terms "evil numbers" and "odious numbers" were coined by Richard K. Guy, c. 1976 (Haque and Shallit, 2016) and appeared in the book by Berlekamp et al. (Vol. 1, 1st ed., 1982). - Amiram Eldar, Jun 08 2021

[8*n-3 for n in range(1,57)] # Stefano Spezia, Jul 23 2025

From R. J. Mathar, Mar 14 2011: (Start)
a(n) = 8*n - 3.
G.f.: x*(5+3*x)/(x-1)^2. (End)
a(n) = 2*a(n-1) - a(n-2). - Vincenzo Librandi, May 28 2011
From Elmo R. Oliveira, Apr 03 2025: (Start)
E.g.f.: exp(x)*(8*x - 3) + 3.
a(n) = A113770(n)/2 = A016813(2*n-1). (End)
