A292381 Base-2 expansion of a(n) encodes the steps where numbers of the form 4k+1 are encountered when map x -> A252463(x) is iterated down to 1, starting from x=n.

Examples

			For n = 1, the starting value (which is also the ending point) is of the form 4k+1, thus a(1) = 1*(2^0) = 1.
For n = 2, the starting value is not of the form 4k+1, but its parent, A252463(2) = 1 is, thus a(2) = 0*(2^0) + 1*(2^1) = 2.
For n = 3, the starting value is not of the form 4k+1, after which follows 2 (also not 4k+1), and then 2 -> 1, and it is only the end-point of iteration which is of the form 4k+1, thus a(3) = 0*(2^0) + 0*(2^1) + 1*(2^2) = 4.
For n = 5, the starting value is of the form 4k+1, after which follows A252463(5) = 3 (which is not), and then continuing as before as 3 -> 2 -> 1, thus a(5) = 1*(2^0) + 0*(2^1) + 0*(2^2) + 1*(2^3) = 9.

Scheme

(define (A292381 n) (A292371 (A292384 n)))

Formula

a(1) = 1; for n > 1, a(n) = 2*a(A252463(n)) + [n ≡ 1 (mod 4)], where the last part of the formula is Iverson bracket, giving 1 only if n is of the form 4k+1, and 0 otherwise.

a(n) = A292371(A292384(n)).

Other identities. For n >= 1:

a(2n) = 2*a(n).

A000120(a(n)) = A292375(n).

For n >= 2, a(n) = A004754(A292385(n)).
