A334789 a(n) = 2^log_2*(n) where log_2*(n) = A001069(n) is the number of log_2(log_2(...log_2(n))) iterations needed to reach < 2.

Comments

Differs from A063511 for n>=256. For example a(256)=8 whereas A063511(256)=16. The respective exponent sequences are A001069 (for here) and A211667 (for A063511) which likewise differ for n>=256.
2^log*(n) arises in computational complexity measures for Fürer's multiplication algorithm.

Formula

a(n) = 2^A001069(n).
a(n) = 2^lg*(n), where lg*(x) = 0 if x <= 1 and 1 + lg*(log_2(x)) otherwise. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Apr 09 2012
