Comments

Number of conjugacy classes in the symmetric group S_n that have odd number of elements.

Also sequence A001316 doubled.

Number of even numbers whose binary expansion is a child of the binary expansion of n. - Nadia Heninger and N. J. A. Sloane, Jun 06 2008

First differences of A151566. Sequence gives number of toothpicks added at the n-th generation of the leftist toothpick sequence A151566. - N. J. A. Sloane, Oct 20 2010

The Fi1 and Fi1 triangle sums, see A180662 for their definitions, of Sierpiński's triangle A047999 equal this sequence. - Johannes W. Meijer, Jun 05 2011

Also number of odd entries in n-th row of triangle of Stirling numbers of the first kind. - Istvan Mezo, Jul 21 2017

Examples

			a(3) = 2 because in S_3 there are two conjugacy classes with odd number of elements, the trivial conjugacy class and the conjugacy class of transpositions consisting of 3 elements: (12),(13),(23).
