The binary weight of n is also called Hamming weight of n. [The term "Hamming weight" was named after the American mathematician Richard Wesley Hamming (1915-1998). - Amiram Eldar, Jun 16 2021]
a(n) is also the largest integer such that 2^a(n) divides binomial(2n, n) = A000984(n). - Benoit Cloitre, Mar 27 2002
To construct the sequence, start with 0 and use the rule: If k >= 0 and a(0), a(1), ..., a(2^k-1) are the first 2^k terms, then the next 2^k terms are a(0) + 1, a(1) + 1, ..., a(2^k-1) + 1. - Benoit Cloitre, Jan 30 2003
An example of a fractal sequence. That is, if you omit every other number in the sequence, you get the original sequence. And of course this can be repeated. So if you form the sequence a(0 * 2^n), a(1 * 2^n), a(2 * 2^n), a(3 * 2^n), ... (for any integer n > 0), you get the original sequence. - Christopher.Hills(AT)sepura.co.uk, May 14 2003
The n-th row of Pascal's triangle has 2^k distinct odd binomial coefficients where k = a(n) - 1. - Lekraj Beedassy, May 15 2003
Fixed point of the morphism 0 -> 01, 1 -> 12, 2 -> 23, 3 -> 34, 4 -> 45, etc., starting from a(0) = 0. - Robert G. Wilson v, Jan 24 2006
a(n) is the number of times n appears among the mystery calculator sequences: A005408, A042964, A047566, A115419, A115420, A115421. - Jeremy Gardiner, Jan 25 2006
a(n) is the number of solutions of the Diophantine equation 2^m*k + 2^(m-1) + i = n, where m >= 1, k >= 0, 0 <= i < 2^(m-1); a(5) = 2 because only (m, k, i) = (1, 2, 0) [2^1*2 + 2^0 + 0 = 5] and (m, k, i) = (3, 0, 1) [2^3*0 + 2^2 + 1 = 5] are solutions. - Hieronymus Fischer, Jan 31 2006
The first appearance of k, k >= 0, is at a(2^k-1). - Robert G. Wilson v, Jul 27 2006
Sequence is given by T^(infinity)(0) where T is the operator transforming any word w = w(1)w(2)...w(m) into T(w) = w(1)(w(1)+1)w(2)(w(2)+1)...w(m)(w(m)+1). I.e., T(0) = 01, T(01) = 0112, T(0112) = 01121223. - Benoit Cloitre, Mar 04 2009
For n >= 2, the minimal k for which a(k(2^n-1)) is not multiple of n is 2^n + 3. - Vladimir Shevelev, Jun 05 2009
Triangle inequality: a(k+m) <= a(k) + a(m). Equality holds if and only if C(k+m, m) is odd. - Vladimir Shevelev, Jul 19 2009
a(k*m) <= a(k) * a(m). - Robert Israel, Sep 03 2023
The number of occurrences of value k in the first 2^n terms of the sequence is equal to binomial(n, k), and also equal to the sum of the first n - k + 1 terms of column k in the array A071919. Example with k = 2, n = 7: there are 21 = binomial(7,2) = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 2's in a(0) to a(2^7-1). - Brent Spillner (spillner(AT)acm.org), Sep 01 2010, simplified by R. J. Mathar, Jan 13 2017
Let m be the number of parts in the listing of the compositions of n as lists of parts in lexicographic order, a(k) = n - length(composition(k)) for all k < 2^n and all n (see example); A007895 gives the equivalent for compositions into odd parts. - Joerg Arndt, Nov 09 2012
From Daniel Forgues, Mar 13 2015: (Start)
Just tally up row k (binary weight equal k) from 0 to 2^n - 1 to get the binomial coefficient C(n,k). (See A007318.)
     0   1       3               7                              15
  0: O | . | .   . | .   .   .   . | .   .   .   .   .   .   .   . |
  1:   | O | O   . | O   .   .   . | O   .   .   .   .   .   .   . |
  2:   |   |     O |     O   O   . |     O   O   .   O   .   .   . |
  3:   |   |       |             O |             O       O   O   . |
  4:   |   |       |               |                             O |
Due to its fractal nature, the sequence is quite interesting to listen to.

The binary weight of n is a particular case of the digit sum (base b) of n. - Daniel Forgues, Mar 13 2015
The mean of the first n terms is 1 less than the mean of [a(n+1),...,a(2n)], which is also the mean of [a(n+2),...,a(2n+1)]. - Christian Perfect, Apr 02 2015
a(n) is also the largest part of the integer partition having viabin number n. The viabin number of an integer partition is defined in the following way. Consider the southeast border of the Ferrers board of the integer partition and consider the binary number obtained by replacing each east step with 1 and each north step, except the last one, with 0. The corresponding decimal form is, by definition, the viabin number of the given integer partition. "Viabin" is coined from "via binary". For example, consider the integer partition [2, 2, 2, 1]. The southeast border of its Ferrers board yields 10100, leading to the viabin number 20. - Emeric Deutsch, Jul 20 2017
a(n) is also known as the population count of the binary representation of n. - Chai Wah Wu, May 19 2020

			Using the formula a(n) = a(floor(n / floor_pow4(n))) + a(n mod floor_pow4(n)):
  a(4) = a(1) + a(0) = 1,
  a(8) = a(2) + a(0) = 1,
  a(13) = a(3) + a(1) = 2 + 1 = 3,
  a(23) = a(1) + a(7) = 1 + a(1) + a(3) = 1 + 1 + 2 = 4.
_Gary W. Adamson_ points out (Jun 03 2009) that this can be written as a triangle:
  0,
  1,
  1,2,
  1,2,2,3,
  1,2,2,3,2,3,3,4,
  1,2,2,3,2,3,3,4,2,3,3,4,3,4,4,5,
  1,2,2,3,2,3,3,4,2,3,3,4,3,4,4,5,2,3,3,4,3,4,4,5,3,4,4,5,4,5,5,6,
  1,2,2,3,2,3,...
where the rows converge to A063787.

For any integer base b >= 2, the sum of digits s_b(n) of expansion base b of n is the solution of this recurrence relation: s_b(n) = 0 if n = 0 and s_b(n) = s_b(floor(n/b)) + (n mod b). Thus, a(n) satisfies: a(n) = 0 if n = 0 and a(n) = a(floor(n/2)) + (n mod 2). This easily yields a(n) = Sum_{i = 0..floor(log_2(n))} (floor(n/2^i) mod 2).

For n>1, n appears 2^(n-1) times. - Lekraj Beedassy, Apr 12 2006
a(n) is the permanent of the n X n 0-1 matrix whose (i,j) entry is 1 iff i=1 or i=j or i=2*j. For example, a(4)=3 is per([[1, 1, 1, 1], [1, 1, 0, 0], [0, 0, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0, 1]]). - David Callan, Jun 07 2006
a(n) is the number of different contiguous palindromic bit patterns in the binary representation of n; for examples, for 5=101_2 the bit patterns are 0, 1, 101; for 7=111_2 the corresponding patterns are 1, 11, 111; for 13=1101_2 the patterns are 0, 1, 11, 101. - Hieronymus Fischer, Mar 13 2012

  000    The numbers < 2^n can be regarded as vectors with
  001    a fixed length n if padded with zeros on the left

  100    n = 3. (See also the second Python program.)

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

a(n+1) - A001285(n) = 2n-1 has been verified for n <= 400. - John W. Layman, May 16 2003 [This can be directly verified by comparing Ralf Stephan's formulas for this sequence (see below) and for A001285. - Jianing Song, Nov 04 2024]
Note that 2n+1 is in the sequence iff 2n is not and so this sequence has asymptotic density 1/2. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Aug 23 2006

a(2*n+1) + a(2*n) = A017101(n-1) = 8*n-5.
a(2*n) - a(2*n-1) gives the Thue-Morse sequence (3, 1 version): 3, 1, 1, 3, 1, 3, 3, 1, 1, 3, .... A001969(n) + A000069(n) = A016813(n-1) = 4*n-3. - Philippe Deléham, Feb 04 2004

Let b(n) = 1 if sum of digits of n is even, -1 if it is odd; then Shallit (1985) showed that Product_{n>=0} ((2n+1)/(2n+2))^b(n) = 1/sqrt(2).
a(n) = 2n - 2 + A010060(n-1). - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Aug 28 2006

a(n) = (n+1)*F(n,p,d) + (1/2)*Sum_{j=1..m+1} ((((p-2*d)/p)*floor(n/p^j+(p-d)/p) + floor(n/p^j))*p^j - (floor(n/p^j+(p-d)/p)^2 - floor(n/p^j)^2)*p^j), where m=floor(log_p(n)) and F(n,p,d) = number of digits >= d in the base p representation of n.
a(p^m-1) = (p-d)*m*p^(m-1).
(This is the total number of digits >= d occurring in all the numbers  with <= m digits in base p representation.)
G.f.: g(x) = (1/(1-x)^2)*Sum_{j>=0} (x^(d*p^j) - x^(p*p^j))/(1-x^(p*p^j)). (End)
a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} A000120(A240857(n,k)). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Apr 14 2014
For n > 0, if n is written as 2^m + r with 0 <= r < 2^m, then a(n) = m*2^(m-1) + r + 1 + a(r). - Shreevatsa R, Mar 20 2018
a(n) = n*(n+1)/2 + Sum_{k=1..floor(n/2)} ((2k-1)((g(n,k)-1)*2^(g(n,k) + 1) + 2) - (n+1)*(g(n,k)+1)*g(n,k)/2), where g(n,k) = floor(log_2(n/(2k-1))). - Fabio Visonà, Mar 17 2020
From Jeffrey Shallit, Aug 07 2021: (Start)
A 2-regular sequence, satisfying the identities
a(4n+1) = -a(2n) + a(2n+1) + a(4n)
a(4n+2) = -2a(2n) + 2a(2n+1) + a(4n)
a(4n+3) = -4a(n) + 4a(2n+1)
a(8n) = 4a(n) - 8a(2n) + 5a(4n)
a(8n+4) = -9a(2n) + 5a(2n+1) + 4a(4n)
for n>=0. (End)
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(log_2(n+1))} k * A360189(n,k). - Alois P. Heinz, Mar 06 2023
