A toothpick is a copy of the closed interval [-1,1]. (In the paper, we take it to be a copy of the unit interval [-1/2, 1/2].)
We start at stage 0 with no toothpicks.
At stage 1 we place a toothpick in the vertical direction, anywhere in the plane.
In general, given a configuration of toothpicks in the plane, at the next stage we add as many toothpicks as possible, subject to certain conditions:
- Each new toothpick must lie in the horizontal or vertical directions.
- Two toothpicks may never cross.
- Each new toothpick must have its midpoint touching the endpoint of exactly one existing toothpick.
The sequence gives the number of toothpicks after n stages. A139251 (the first differences) gives the number added at the n-th stage.
Call the endpoint of a toothpick "exposed" if it does not touch any other toothpick. The growth rule may be expressed as follows: at each stage, new toothpicks are placed so their midpoints touch every exposed endpoint.
This is equivalent to a two-dimensional cellular automaton. The animations show the fractal-like behavior.
After 2^k - 1 steps, there are 2^k exposed endpoints, all located on two lines perpendicular to the initial toothpick. At the next step, 2^k toothpicks are placed on these lines, leaving only 4 exposed endpoints, located at the corners of a square with side length 2^(k-1) times the length of a toothpick. - M. F. Hasler, Apr 14 2009 and others. For proof, see the Applegate-Pol-Sloane paper.
If the third condition in the definition is changed to "- Each new toothpick must have at exactly one of its endpoints touching the midpoint of an existing toothpick" then the same sequence is obtained. The configurations of toothpicks are of course different from those in the present sequence. But if we start with the configurations of the present sequence, rotate each toothpick a quarter-turn, and then rotate the whole configuration a quarter-turn, we obtain the other configuration.
If the third condition in the definition is changed to "- Each new toothpick must have at least one of its endpoints touching the midpoint of an existing toothpick" then the sequence n^2 - n + 1 is obtained, because there are no holes left in the grid.
A "toothpick" of length 2 can be regarded as a polyedge with 2 components, both on the same line. At stage n, the toothpick structure is a polyedge with 2*a(n) components.
Conjecture: Consider the rectangles in the sieve (including the squares). The area of each rectangle (A = b*c) and the edges (b and c) are powers of 2, but at least one of the edges (b or c) is <= 2.
In the toothpick structure, if n >> 1, we can see some patterns that look like "canals" and "diffraction patterns". For example, see the Applegate link "A139250: the movie version", then enter n=1008 and click "Update". See also "T-square (fractal)" in the Links section. - Omar E. Pol, May 19 2009, Oct 01 2011
From Benoit Jubin, May 20 2009: The web page "Gallery" of Chris Moore (see link) has some nice pictures that are somewhat similar to the pictures of the present sequence. What sequences do they correspond to?
For a connection to Sierpiński triangle and Gould's sequence A001316, see the leftist toothpick triangle A151566.
Eric Rowland comments on Mar 15 2010 that this toothpick structure can be represented as a 5-state CA on the square grid. On Mar 18 2010, David Applegate showed that three states are enough. See links.
Equals row sums of triangle A160570 starting with offset 1; equivalent to convolving A160552: (1, 1, 3, 1, 3, 5, 7, ...) with (1, 2, 2, 2, ...). Equals A160762: (1, 0, 2, -2, 2, 2, 2, -6, ...) convolved with 2*n - 1: (1, 3, 5, 7, ...). Starting with offset 1 equals A151548: [1, 3, 5, 7, 5, 11, 17, 15, ...] convolved with A078008 signed (A151575): [1, 0, 2, -2, 6, -10, 22, -42, 86, -170, 342, ...]. - Gary W. Adamson, May 19 2009, May 25 2009
For a three-dimensional version of the toothpick structure, see A160160. - Omar E. Pol, Dec 06 2009
From Omar E. Pol, May 20 2010: (Start)
Observation about the arrangement of rectangles:
It appears there is a nice pattern formed by distinct modular substructures: a central cross surrounded by asymmetrical crosses (or "hidden crosses") of distinct sizes and also by "nuclei" of crosses.
Conjectures: after 2^k stages, for k >= 2, and for m = 1 to k - 1, there are 4^(m-1) substructures of size s = k - m, where every substructure has 4*s rectangles. The total number of substructures is equal to (4^(k-1)-1)/3 = A002450(k-1). For example: If k = 5 (after 32 stages) we can see that:
a) There is a central cross, of size 4, with 16 rectangles.
b) There are four hidden crosses, of size 3, where every cross has 12 rectangles.
c) There are 16 hidden crosses, of size 2, where every cross has 8 rectangles.
d) There are 64 nuclei of crosses, of size 1, where every nucleus has 4 rectangles.
Hence the total number of substructures after 32 stages is equal to 85. Note that in every arm of every substructure, in the potential growth direction, the length of the rectangles are the powers of 2. (See illustrations in the links. See also A160124.) (End)
It appears that the number of grid points that are covered after n-th stage of the toothpick structure, assuming the toothpicks have length 2*k, is equal to (2*k-2)*a(n) + A147614(n), k > 0. See the formulas of A160420 and A160422. - Omar E. Pol, Nov 13 2010
Version "Gullwing": on the semi-infinite square grid, at stage 1, we place a horizontal "gull" with its vertices at [(-1, 2), (0, 1), (1, 2)]. At stage 2, we place two vertical gulls. At stage 3, we place four horizontal gulls. a(n) is also the number of gulls after n-th stage. For more information about the growth of gulls see A187220. - Omar E. Pol, Mar 10 2011
From Omar E. Pol, Mar 12 2011: (Start)
Version "I-toothpick": we define an "I-toothpick" to consist of two connected toothpicks, as a bar of length 2. An I-toothpick with length 2 is formed by two toothpicks with length 1. The midpoint of an I-toothpick is touched by its two toothpicks. a(n) is also the number of I-toothpicks after n-th stage in the I-toothpick structure. The I-toothpick structure is essentially the original toothpick structure in which every toothpick is replaced by an I-toothpick. Note that in the physical model of the original toothpick structure the midpoint of a wooden toothpick of the new generation is superimposed on the endpoint of a wooden toothpick of the old generation. However, in the physical model of the I-toothpick structure the wooden toothpicks are not overlapping because all wooden toothpicks are connected by their endpoints. For the number of toothpicks in the I-toothpick structure see A160164 which also gives the number of gullwing in a gullwing structure because the gullwing structure of A160164 is equivalent to the I-toothpick structure. It also appears that the gullwing sequence A187220 is a supersequence of the original toothpick sequence A139250 (this sequence).
For the connection with the Ulam-Warburton cellular automaton see the Applegate-Pol-Sloane paper and see also A160164 and A187220.
(End)
A version in which the toothpicks are connected by their endpoints: on the semi-infinite square grid, at stage 1, we place a vertical toothpick of length 1 from (0, 0). At stage 2, we place two horizontal toothpicks from (0,1), and so on. The arrangement looks like half of the I-toothpick structure. a(n) is also the number of toothpicks after the n-th. - Omar E. Pol, Mar 13 2011
Version "Quarter-circle" (or Q-toothpick): a(n) is also the number of Q-toothpicks after the n-th stage in a Q-toothpick structure in the first quadrant. We start from (0,1) with the first Q-toothpick centered at (1, 1). The structure is asymmetric. For a similar structure but starting from (0, 0) see A187212. See A187210 and A187220 for more information. - Omar E. Pol, Mar 22 2011
Version "Tree": It appears that a(n) is also the number of toothpicks after the n-th stage in a toothpick structure constructed following a special rule: the toothpicks of the new generation have length 4 when they are placed on the infinite square grid (note that every toothpick has four components of length 1), but after every stage, one (or two) of the four components of every toothpick of the new generation is removed, if such component contains an endpoint of the toothpick and if such endpoint is touching the midpoint or the endpoint of another toothpick. The truncated endpoints of the toothpicks remain exposed forever. Note that there are three sizes of toothpicks in the structure: toothpicks of lengths 4, 3 and 2. A159795 gives the total number of components in the structure after the n-th stage. A153006 (the corner sequence of the original version) gives 1/4 of the total of components in the structure after the n-th stage. - Omar E. Pol, Oct 24 2011
From Omar E. Pol, Sep 16 2012: (Start)
It appears that a(n)/A147614(n) converges to 3/4.
It appears that a(n)/A160124(n) converges to 3/2.
It appears that a(n)/A139252(n) converges to 3.
Also:
It appears that A147614(n)/A160124(n) converges to 2.
It appears that A160124(n)/A139252(n) converges to 2.
It appears that A147614(n)/A139252(n) converges to 4.
(End)
It appears that a(n) is also the total number of ON cells after n-th stage in a quadrant of the structure of the cellular automaton described in A169707 plus the total number of ON cells after n+1 stages in a quadrant of the mentioned structure, without its central cell. See the illustration of the NW-NE-SE-SW version in A169707. See also the connection between A160164 and A169707. - Omar E. Pol, Jul 26 2015
On the infinite Cairo pentagonal tiling consider the symmetric figure formed by two non-adjacent pentagons connected by a line segment joining two trivalent nodes. At stage 1 we start with one of these figures turned ON. The rule for the next stages is that the concave part of the figures of the new generation must be adjacent to the complementary convex part of the figures of the old generation. a(n) gives the number of figures that are ON in the structure after n-th stage. A160164(n) gives the number of ON cells in the structure after n-th stage. - Omar E. Pol, Mar 29 2018
From Omar E. Pol, Mar 06 2019: (Start)
The "word" of this sequence is "ab". For further information about the word of cellular automata see A296612.
Version "triangular grid": a(n) is also the total number of toothpicks of length 2 after n-th stage in the toothpick structure on the infinite triangular grid, if we use only two of the three axes. Otherwise, if we use the three axes, so we have the sequence A296510 which has word "abc".
The normal toothpick structure can be considered a superstructure of the Ulam-Warburton celular automaton since A147562(n) equals here the total number of "hidden crosses" after 4*n stages, including the central cross (beginning to count the crosses when their "nuclei" are totally formed with 4 quadrilaterals). Note that every quadrilateral in the structure belongs to a "hidden cross".
Also, the number of "hidden crosses" after n stages equals the total number of "flowers with six petals" after n-th stage in the structure of A323650, which appears to be a "missing link" between this sequence and A147562.
Note that the location of the "nuclei of the hidden crosses" is very similar (essentially the same) to the location of the "flowers with six petals" in the structure of A323650 and to the location of the "ON" cells in the version "one-step bishop" of the Ulam-Warburton cellular automaton of A147562. (End)
From Omar E. Pol, Nov 27 2020: (Start)
The simplest substructures are the arms of the hidden crosses. Each closed region (square or rectangle) of the structure belongs to one of these arms. The narrow arms have regions of area 1, 2, 4, 8, ... The broad arms have regions of area 2, 4, 8, 16 , ... Note that after 2^k stages, with k >= 3, the narrow arms of the main hidden crosses in each quadrant frame the size of the toothpick structure after 2^(k-1) stages.
Another kind of substructure could be called "bar chart" or "bar graph". This substructure is formed by the rectangles and squares of width 2 that are adjacent to any of the four sides of the toothpick structure after 2^k stages, with k >= 2. The height of these successive regions gives the first 2^(k-1) - 1 terms from A006519. For example: if k = 5 the respective heights after 32 stages are [1, 2, 1, 4, 1, 2, 1, 8, 1, 2, 1, 4, 1, 2, 1]. The area of these successive regions gives the first 2^(k-1) - 1 terms of A171977. For example: if k = 5 the respective areas are [2, 4, 2, 8, 2, 4, 2, 16, 2, 4, 2, 8, 2, 4, 2].
For a connection to Mersenne primes (A000668) and perfect numbers (A000396) see A153006.
For a representation of the Wagstaff primes (A000979) using the toothpick structure see A194810.
For a connection to stained glass windows and a hidden curve see A336532. (End)
It appears that the graph of a(n) bears a striking resemblance to the cumulative distribution function F(x) for X the random variable taking values in [0,1], where the binary expansion of X is given by a sequence of independent coin tosses with probability 3/4 of being 1 at each bit. It appears that F(n/2^k)*(2^(2k+1)+1)/3 approaches a(n) for k large. - James Coe, Jan 10 2022

Number of 2's dividing 2*n.
a(n) is equivalently the exponent of the smallest power of 2 which does not divide n. - David James Sycamore, Oct 02 2023
a(n) - 1 is the number of trailing zeros in the binary expansion of n.
If you are counting in binary and the least significant bit is numbered 1, the next bit is 2, etc., a(n) is the bit that is incremented when increasing from n-1 to n. - Jud McCranie, Apr 26 2004
Number of steps to reach an integer starting with (n+1)/2 and using the map x -> x*ceiling(x) (cf. A073524).
a(n) is the number of the disk to be moved at the n-th step of the optimal solution to Towers of Hanoi problem (comment from Andreas M. Hinz).
Shows which bit to flip when creating the binary reflected Gray code (bits are numbered from the right, offset is 1). This is essentially equivalent to Hinz's comment. - Adam Kertesz, Jul 28 2001
a(n) is the Hamming distance between n and n-1 (in binary). This is equivalent to Kertesz's comments above. - Tak-Shing Chan (chan12(AT)alumni.usc.edu), Feb 25 2003
Let S(0) = {1}, S(n) = {S(n-1), S(n-1)-{x}, x+1} where x = last term of S(n-1); sequence gives S(infinity). - Benoit Cloitre, Jun 14 2003
The sum of all terms up to and including the first occurrence of m is 2^m-1. - Donald Sampson (marsquo(AT)hotmail.com), Dec 01 2003
m appears every 2^m terms starting with the 2^(m-1)th term. - Donald Sampson (marsquo(AT)hotmail.com), Dec 08 2003
Sequence read mod 4 gives A092412. - Philippe Deléham, Mar 28 2004
If q = 2n/2^A001511(n) and if b(m) is defined by b(0)=q-1 and b(m)=2*b(m-1)+1, then 2n = b(A001511(n)) + 1. - Gerald McGarvey, Dec 18 2004
Repeating pattern ABACABADABACABAE ... - Jeremy Gardiner, Jan 16 2005
Relation to C(n) = Collatz function iteration using only odd steps: a(n) is the number of right bits set in binary representation of A004767(n) (numbers of the form 4*m+3). So for m=A004767(n) it follows that there are exactly a(n) recursive steps where m
Between every two instances of any positive integer m there are exactly m distinct values (1 through m-1 and one value greater than m). - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Sep 18 2006
Number of divisors of n of the form 2^k. - Giovanni Teofilatto, Jul 25 2007
Every prefix up to (but not including) the first occurrence of some k >= 2 is a palindrome. - Gary W. Adamson, Sep 24 2008
1 interleaved with (2 interleaved with (3 interleaved with ( ... ))). - Eric D. Burgess (ericdb(AT)gmail.com), Oct 17 2009
A054525 (Möbius transform) * A001511 = A036987 = A047999^(-1) * A001511. - Gary W. Adamson, Oct 26 2009
Equals A051731 * A036987, (inverse Möbius transform of the Fredholm-Rueppel sequence) = A047999 * A036987. - Gary W. Adamson, Oct 26 2009
Cf. A173238, showing links between generalized ruler functions and A000041. - Gary W. Adamson, Feb 14 2010
Given A000041, P(x) = A(x)/A(x^2) with P(x) = (1 + x + 2x^2 + 3x^3 + 5x^4 + 7x^5 + ...), A(x) = (1 + x + 3x^2 + 4x^3 + 10x^4 + 13x^5 + ...), A(x^2) = (1 + x^2 + 3x^4 + 4x^6 + 10x^8 + ...), where A092119 = (1, 1, 3, 4, 10, ...) = Euler transform of the ruler sequence, A001511. - Gary W. Adamson, Feb 11 2010
Subtracting 1 from every term and deleting any 0's yields the same sequence, A001511. - Ben Branman, Dec 28 2011
In the listing of the compositions of n as lists in lexicographic order, a(k) is the last part of composition(k) for all k <= 2^(n-1) and all n, see example. - Joerg Arndt, Nov 12 2012
According to Hinz, et al. (see links), this sequence was studied by Louis Gros in his 1872 pamphlet "Théorie du Baguenodier" and has therefore been called the Gros sequence.
First n terms comprise least squarefree word of length n using positive integers, where "squarefree" means that the word contains no consecutive identical subwords; e.g., 1 contains no square; 11 contains a square but 12 does not; 121 contains no square; both 1211 and 1212 have squares but 1213 does not; etc. - Clark Kimberling, Sep 05 2013
Length of 0-run starting from 2 (10, 100, 110, 1000, 1010, ...), or length of 1-run starting from 1 (1, 11, 101, 111, 1001, 1011, ...) of every second number, from right to left in binary representation. - Armands Strazds, Apr 13 2017
a(n) is also the frequency of the largest part in 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 24 2017
As A000005(n) equals the number of even divisors of 2n and A001227(n) = A001227(2n), the formula A001511(n) = A000005(n)/A001227(n) might be read as "The number of even divisors of 2n is always divisible by the number of odd divisors of 2n" (where number of divisors means sum of zeroth powers of divisors). Conjecture: For any nonnegative integer k, the sum of the k-th powers of even divisors of n is always divisible by the sum of the k-th powers of odd divisors of n. - Ivan N. Ianakiev, Jul 06 2019

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

Examples

			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.
G.f. = x + 2*x^2 + x^3 + 4*x^4 + x^5 + 2*x^6 + x^7 + 8*x^8 + x^9 + ...

Comments

T(n,k) is the number of lattice paths from (0,0) to (n,k) with steps (1,0) and two kinds of steps (1,1). The number of paths with steps (1,0) and s kinds of steps (1,1) corresponds to the expansion of (1+s*x)^n. - Joerg Arndt, Jul 01 2011
Also sum of rows in A046816. - Lior Manor, Apr 24 2004
Also square array of unsigned coefficients of Chebyshev polynomials of second kind. - Philippe Deléham, Aug 12 2005
The rows give the number of k-simplices in the n-cube. For example, 1, 6, 12, 8 shows that the 3-cube has 1 volume, 6 faces, 12 edges and 8 vertices. - Joshua Zucker, Jun 05 2006
Triangle whose (i, j)-th entry is binomial(i, j)*2^j.
With offset [1,1] the triangle with doubled numbers, 2*a(n,m), enumerates sequences of length m with nonzero integer entries n_i satisfying sum(|n_i|) <= n. Example n=4, m=2: [1,3], [3,1], [2,2] each in 2^2=4 signed versions: 2*a(4,2) = 2*6 = 12. The Sum over m (row sums of 2*a(n,m)) gives 2*3^(n-1), n >= 1. See the W. Lang comment and a K. A. Meissner reference under A024023. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 21 2008
n-th row of the triangle = leftmost column of nonzero terms of X^n, where X = an infinite bidiagonal matrix with (1,1,1,...) in the main diagonal and (2,2,2,...) in the subdiagonal. - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 19 2008
Numerators of a matrix square-root of Pascal's triangle A007318, where the denominators for the n-th row are set to 2^n. - Gerald McGarvey, Aug 20 2009
From Johannes W. Meijer, Sep 22 2010: (Start)
The triangle sums (see A180662 for their definitions) link the Pell-Jacobsthal triangle, whose mirror image is A038207, with twenty-four different sequences; see the crossrefs.
This triangle may very well be called the Pell-Jacobsthal triangle in view of the fact that A000129 (Kn21) are the Pell numbers and A001045 (Kn11) the Jacobsthal numbers.

T(n,k) equals the number of n-length words on {0,1,2} having n-k zeros. - Milan Janjic, Jul 24 2015
T(n-1,k-1) is the number of 2-compositions of n with zeros having k positive parts; see Hopkins & Ouvry reference. - Brian Hopkins, Aug 16 2020
T(n,k) is the number of chains 0=x_0Geoffrey Critzer, Oct 01 2022
Excluding the initial 1, T(n,k) is the number of k-faces of a regular n-cross polytope. See A038207 for n-cube and A135278 for n-simplex. - Mohammed Yaseen, Jan 14 2023

If p is an odd prime and p^n is the length of the odd leg of a primitive Pythagorean triangle it constrains the other leg and hypotenuse to be (p^(2n)-1)/2 and (p^(2n)+1)/2. The resulting triangle has a semiperimeter of p^n(p^n+1)/2, an area of (p^n-1)p^n(p^n+1)/4 and an inradius of (p^n-1)/2. a(n) equals the GCD of the inradius terms (p^n-1)/2 for at least the first n odd primes.
Conjecture: a(n) equals the GCD of the inradius terms (p^n-1)/2 for all odd primes, i.e. a(n) = GCD_{k=1..oo} (prime(k+1)^n-1)/2.
From David A. Corneth, Dec 29 2017: (Start)
All terms are powers of 2. Proof: suppose p | a(n) for some odd prime p. Then p | (p^n - 1) / 2 and so p | (p^n - 1) which isn't the case.
If n is odd then a(n) = 1. Proof: 2 | (p^k - 1) for all k and odd primes p. 3^n - 1 = 3 * 9^k - 1 = 3 - 1 = 2 (mod 4), so 3^n - 1 is of the form 2*m for some odd m, hence the GCD of all (p^n - 1) / 2 is 1 for odd n. (End)
This is the even bisection of A059159. - Rémy Sigrist, Dec 30 2017
a(n) is the size of the group Z_2*/(Z_2*)^n, where Z_2 is the ring of 2-adic integers. We have that Z_2*/(Z_2*)^n is the inverse limit of (Z/2^iZ)*/((Z/2^iZ)*)^n as i tends to infinity. If n is odd, then the group is trivial. If n = 2^e * n' is even, where n' is odd, then the group is the product of a cyclic group of order 2^e and a cyclic group of order 2. See A370050. - Jianing Song, May 12 2024

Examples

			a(4)=8 because for n=4 and for the first 4 odd primes {3, 5, 7, 11}, the term (p^n-1)/2 gives {40, 312, 1200, 7320} with a GCD of 8.

Here the site swap pattern ...,2,16,2,4,2,8,2,4,2,0,2,4,2,8,2,4,2,16,2,... that spans over the Z (zero throw is at t=0) has been folded to N by picking values at t=0, t=1, t=-1, t=2, t=-2, etc. successively.
This pattern is shown in the figure 7 of Buhler and Graham paper and uses infinitely many balls, with each ball at step t thrown always to constant "height" 2^A001511[abs(t)] (no balls in hands at step t=0).
