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.

a(n) = A213629(n, 1) for n > 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jul 04 2012
a(n) = A240857(n,n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Apr 14 2014
a(n) = log_2(C(2*n,n) - (C(2*n,n) AND C(2*n,n)-1)). - Gary Detlefs, Jul 10 2014
Sum_{n >= 1} a(n)/2n(2n+1) = (gamma + log(4/Pi))/2 = A344716, where gamma is Euler's constant A001620; see Sondow 2005, 2010 and Allouche, Shallit, Sondow 2007. - Jonathan Sondow, Mar 21 2015
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). From that one can compute a(n) = n - Sum_{i = 1..floor(log_2(n))} floor(n/2^i). - Marek A. Suchenek, Mar 31 2016
Sum_{k>=1} a(k)/2^k = 2 * Sum_{k >= 0} 1/(2^(2^k)+1) = 2 * A051158. - Amiram Eldar, May 15 2020
Sum_{k>=1} a(k)/(k*(k+1)) = A016627 = log(4). - Bernard Schott, Sep 16 2020
a(m*(2^n-1)) >= n. Equality holds when 2^n-1 >= A000265(m), but also in some other cases, e.g., a(11*(2^2-1)) = 2 and a(19*(2^3-1)) = 3. - Pontus von Brömssen, Dec 13 2020

Also the sum of binary indices of n, where a binary index of n (A048793) is any position of a 1 in its reversed binary expansion. For example, the binary indices of 11 are {1,2,4}, so a(11) = 7. - Gus Wiseman, May 22 2024

			14 = 8+4+2 so a(7) = 3+2+1 = 6.
Composition number 11 is 2,1,1; 1*2+2*1+3*1 = 7, so a(11) = 7.
The triangle starts:
  0
  1
  2 3
  3 4 5 6
The reversed binary expansion of 18 is (0,1,0,0,1) with 1's at positions {2,5}, so a(18) = 2 + 5 = 7. - _Gus Wiseman_, Jul 22 2019

a(n)=hammingweight(bitxor(n,3*n)) \\ Charles R Greathouse IV, Jan 03 2017

a(0) = 0; a(n) = 1 if n is a power of 2; a(n) = 1 + min { a(n-2^k), a(2^(k+1)-n) } if 2^k < n < 2^(k+1).
a(n) = 0 if n = 0, = 1 if n = 1, = a(n/2) if n > 1 and n even and = min(a(n-1), a(n+1))+1 if n > 1 and n odd. - David W. Wilson, Dec 28 2005
