A215254 Consider numbers m in the range 2^n <= m < 2^(n+1); the smallest A215244(m) in this range is k=A215245(n); a(n) = binary representation of m for the first time this k appears.

Comments

a(n) is an example, the first that is encountered, of a binary vector of length n that has the smallest number of factorizations as a product of palindromes.

Examples

			If the numbers are written under each other, there is a suggestion of a pattern (see A215255 for the most obvious pattern). It would be interesting to have more terms to see if the pattern continues.

The rightmost column is obtained by substituting a=100101 and b=100110. A period of 6 is apparent. - _Lars Blomberg_, May 18 2019
