Least positive k such that m^k + 1 divides m^n + 1 (with fixed base m). - Vladimir Baltic, Mar 25 2002
To construct the sequence: start with 1, concatenate 1, 1 and double last term gives 1, 2. Concatenate those 2 terms, 1, 2, 1, 2 and double last term 1, 2, 1, 2 -> 1, 2, 1, 4. Concatenate those 4 terms: 1, 2, 1, 4, 1, 2, 1, 4 and double last term -> 1, 2, 1, 4, 1, 2, 1, 8, etc. - Benoit Cloitre, Dec 17 2002
a(n) = gcd(seq(binomial(2*n, 2*m+1)/2, m = 0 .. n - 1)) (odd numbered entries of even numbered rows of Pascal's triangle A007318 divided by 2), where gcd() denotes the greatest common divisor of a set of numbers. Due to the symmetry of the rows it suffices to consider m = 0 .. floor((n-1)/2). - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 23 2004
Equals the continued fraction expansion of a constant x (cf. A100338) such that the continued fraction expansion of 2*x interleaves this sequence with 2's: contfrac(2*x) = [2; 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 2, 4, 2, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 2, 8, 2, ...].
Simon Plouffe observes that this sequence and A003484 (Radon function) are very similar, the difference being all zeros except for every 16th term (see A101119 for nonzero differences). Dec 02 2004
This sequence arises when calculating the next odd number in a Collatz sequence: Next(x) = (3*x + 1) / A006519, or simply (3*x + 1) / BitAnd(3*x + 1, -3*x - 1). - Jim Caprioli, Feb 04 2005
a(n) = n if and only if n = 2^k. This sequence can be obtained by taking a(2^n) = 2^n in place of a(2^n) = n and using the same sequence building approach as in A001511. - Amarnath Murthy, Jul 08 2005
Also smallest m such that m + n - 1 = m XOR (n - 1); A086799(n) = a(n) + n - 1. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Feb 02 2007
Number of 1's between successive 0's in A159689. - Philippe Deléham, Apr 22 2009
Least number k such that all coefficients of k*E(n, x), the n-th Euler polynomial, are integers (cf. A144845). - Peter Luschny, Nov 13 2009
In the binary expansion of n, delete everything left of the rightmost 1 bit. - Ralf Stephan, Aug 22 2013
The equivalent sequence for partitions is A194446. - Omar E. Pol, Aug 22 2013
Also the 2-adic value of 1/n, n >= 1. See the Mahler reference, definition on p. 7. This is a non-archimedean valuation. See Mahler, p. 10. Sometimes called 2-adic absolute value of 1/n. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jun 28 2014
First 2^(k-1) - 1 terms are also the heights of the successive rectangles and squares of width 2 that are adjacent to any of the four sides of the toothpick structure of A139250 after 2^k stages, with k >= 2. For example: if k = 5 the heights after 32 stages are [1, 2, 1, 4, 1, 2, 1, 8, 1, 2, 1, 4, 1, 2, 1] respectively, the same as the first 15 terms of this sequence. - Omar E. Pol, Dec 29 2020

			2^3 divides 24, but 2^4 does not divide 24, so a(24) = 8.
2^0 divides 25, but 2^1 does not divide 25, so a(25) = 1.
2^1 divides 26, but 2^2 does not divide 26, so a(26) = 2.
Per _Marc LeBrun_'s 2000 comment, a(n) can also be determined with bitwise operations in two's complement. For example, given n = 48, we see that n in binary in an 8-bit byte is 00110000 while -n is 11010000. Then 00110000 AND 11010000 = 00010000, which is 16 in decimal, and therefore a(48) = 16.

Nonzero terms form A101121 and occur at positions 2^k for k >= 0. A101119 equals the nonzero differences of A006519 and A003484. See A099884 for the definition of the XOR BINOMIAL transform.

A101120 gives the records in A101119, which equals the nonzero differences of A006519 and A003484. A101122 is the XOR BINOMIAL transform of A101119 and has zeros everywhere except at positions equal to powers of 2.
