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 mBetween 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

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

Also called core(n). [Not to be confused with the squarefree kernel of n, A007947.]
Sequence read mod 4 gives A065882. - Philippe Deléham, Mar 28 2004
This is an arithmetic function and is undefined if n <= 0.
A note on square roots of numbers: we can write sqrt(n) = b*sqrt(c) where c is squarefree. Then b = A000188(n) is the "inner square root" of n, c = A007913(n), lcm(A007947(b),c) = A007947(n) = "squarefree kernel" of n and bc = A019554(n) = "outer square root" of n. [Corrected by M. F. Hasler, Mar 01 2018]
If n > 1, the quantity f(n) = log(n/core(n))/log(n) satisfies 0 <= f(n) <= 1; f(n) = 0 when n is squarefree and f(n) = 1 when n is a perfect square. One can define n as being "epsilon-almost squarefree" if f(n) < epsilon. - Kurt Foster (drsardonicus(AT)earthlink.net), Jun 28 2008
a(n) is the smallest natural number m such that product of geometric mean of the divisors of n and geometric mean of the divisors of m are integers. Geometric mean of the divisors of number n is real number b(n) = Sqrt(n). a(n) = 1 for infinitely many n. a(n) = 1 for numbers from A000290: a(A000290(n)) = 1. For n = 8; b(8) = sqrt(8), a(n) = 2 because b(2) = sqrt(2); sqrt(8) * sqrt(2) = 4 (integer). - Jaroslav Krizek, Apr 26 2010

The Dirichlet inverse of this sequence is A008836(n) * A063659(n). - Álvar Ibeas, Mar 19 2015
a(n) = 1 if n is a square, a(n) = n if n is a product of distinct primes. - Zak Seidov, Jan 30 2016
All solutions of the Diophantine equation n*x=y^2 or, equivalently, G(n,x)=y, with G being the geometric mean, are of the form x=k^2*a(n), y=k*sqrt(n*a(n)), where k is a positive integer. - Stanislav Sykora, Feb 03 2016
If f is a multiplicative function then Sum_{d divides n} f(a(d)) is also multiplicative. For example, A010052(n) = Sum_{d divides n} mu(a(d)) and A046951(n) = Sum_{d divides n} mu(a(d)^2). - Peter Bala, Jan 24 2024

From this observation we obtain the continued fraction expansion log(2) = (2/3)*(1 + 2/(54 - 36*3^2/(96 - 36*5^2/(136 - ... - 36*(2*n - 1)^2/((40*n + 16) - ... ))))). Cf. A002391, A073000 and A105531 for similar expansions. (End)

nonn

Suppose that (s(i)) is a strictly increasing sequence in the set N of positive integers. For i in N, let r(h) be the residue of s(i+h)-s(i) mod n, for h=1,2,...,n+1. There are at most n distinct residues r(h), so that there must exist numbers h and h' such that r(h)=r(h'), where 0<=h

Corollary: for each n, there are infinitely many pairs (j,k) such that n divides s(k)-s(j), and this result holds if s is assumed unbounded, rather than strictly increasing.

least (k,j) such that 1 divides s(k)-s(j) for some j is (2,1), so a(1)=2.

Or the number of solutions of the equation: A000120(x) + A000120(n-x) = A000120(n). - Vladimir Shevelev, Jul 19 2009
For positive n, a(n) equals the denominator of the permanent of the n X n matrix consisting entirely of (1/2)'s. - John M. Campbell, May 26 2011
Companions to A001316 are A048896, A105321, A117973, A151930 and A191488. They all have the same structure. We observe that for all these sequences a((2*n+1)*2^p-1) = C(p)*A001316(n), p >= 0. If C(p) = 2^p then a(n) = A001316(n), if C(p) = 1 then a(n) = A048896(n), if C(p) = 2^p+2 then a(n) = A105321(n+1), if C(p) = 2^(p+1) then a(n) = A117973(n), if C(p) = 2^p-2 then a(n) = (-1)*A151930(n) and if C(p) = 2^(p+1)+2 then a(n) = A191488(n). Furthermore for all a(2^p - 1) = C(p). - Johannes W. Meijer, Jun 05 2011
a(n) = number of zeros in n-th row of A219463 = number of ones in n-th row of A047999. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Nov 30 2012
This is the Run Length Transform of S(n) = {1,2,4,8,16,...} (cf. A000079). The Run Length Transform of a sequence {S(n), n>=0} is defined to be the sequence {T(n), n>=0} given by T(n) = Product_i S(i), where i runs through the lengths of runs of 1's in the binary expansion of n. E.g., 19 is 10011 in binary, which has two runs of 1's, of lengths 1 and 2. So T(19) = S(1)*S(2). T(0)=1 (the empty product). - N. J. A. Sloane, Sep 05 2014
A105321(n+1) = a(n+1) + a(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Nov 14 2014
a(n) = A261363(n,n) = number of distinct terms in row n of A261363 = number of odd terms in row n+1 of A261363. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Aug 16 2015
From Gary W. Adamson, Aug 26 2016: (Start)
A production matrix for the sequence is lim_{k->infinity} M^k, the left-shifted vector of M:
  1, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...
  2, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...
  0, 1, 0, 0, 0, ...
  0, 2, 0, 0, 0, ...
  0, 0, 1, 0, 0, ...
  0, 0, 2, 0, 0, ...
  0, 0, 0, 1, 0, ...
  ...
The result is equivalent to the g.f. of Apr 06 2003: Product_{k>=0} (1 + 2*z^(2^k)). (End)
Number of binary palindromes of length n for which the first floor(n/2) symbols are themselves a palindrome (Ji and Wilf 2008). - Jeffrey Shallit, Jun 15 2017

Invented by Emile Baudot (1845-1903), originally called a "cyclic-permuted" code. Gray codes are named after Frank Gray, who patented their use for shaft encoders in 1953. [F. Gray, "Pulse Code Communication", U.S. Patent 2,632,058, March 17, 1953.] - Robert G. Wilson v, Jun 22 2014
For n >= 2, let G_n be the graph whose vertices are labeled as 0,1,...,2^n-1, and two vertices are adjacent if and only if their binary expansions differ in exactly one bit, then a(0),a(1),...,a(2^n-1),a(0) is a Hamilton cycle in G_n. - Jianing Song, Jun 01 2022

			For n = 13, the binary reflected Gray code representation of n is '1011' and 1011_2 = 11_10. So, a(13) = 11. - _Indranil Ghosh_, Jan 23 2017

In other words, least m > 0 such that 2n+1 divides 2^m-1.
Number of riffle shuffles of 2n+2 cards required to return a deck to initial state. A riffle shuffle replaces a list s(1), s(2), ..., s(m) with s(1), s((i/2)+1), s(2), s((i/2)+2), ... a(1) = 2 because a riffle shuffle of [1, 2, 3, 4] requires 2 iterations [1, 2, 3, 4] -> [1, 3, 2, 4] -> [1, 2, 3, 4] to restore the original order.
Concerning the complexity of computing this sequence, see for example Bach and Shallit, p. 115, exercise 8.
It is not difficult to prove that if 2n+1 is a prime then 2n is a multiple of a(n). But the converse is not true. Indeed, one can prove that a(2^(2t-1))=4t. Thus if n=2^(2t-1), where, for any m > 0, t=2^(m-1) then 2n is a multiple of a(n) while 2n+1 is a Fermat number which, as is well known, is not always a prime. It is an interesting problem to describe all composite numbers for which 2n is divisible by a(n). - Vladimir Shevelev, May 09 2008
For an algorithm of calculation of a(n) see author's comment in A179680. - Vladimir Shevelev, Jul 21 2010
From V. Raman, Sep 18 2012, Dec 10 2012: (Start)
If 2n+1 is prime, then the polynomial (x^(2n+1)+1)/(x+1) factors into 2n/a(n) polynomials of the same degree a(n) over GF(2).
If (x^(2n+1)+1)/(x+1) is irreducible over GF(2), then 2n+1 is prime, and 2 is a primitive root (mod 2n+1) (cf. A001122).
For all n > 0, a(n) is the degree of the largest irreducible polynomial factor for the polynomial (x^(2n+1)+1)/(x+1) over GF(2). (End)
a(n) is a factor of phi(2n+1) (A000010(2n+1)). - Douglas Boffey, Oct 21 2013
Conjecture: if p is an odd prime then a((p^3-1)/2) = p * a((p^2-1)/2). Because otherwise a((p^3-1)/2) < p * a((p^2-1)/2) iff a((p^3-1)/2) = a((p-1)/2) for a prime p. Equivalently p^3 divides 2^(p-1)-1, but no such prime p is known. - Thomas Ordowski, Feb 10 2014
A generalization of the previous conjecture: For each k>=2, if p is an odd prime then a(((p^(k+1))-1)/2) = p * a((p^k-1)/2). Computer testing of this generalized conjecture shows that there is no counterexample for k and p both up to 1000. - Ahmad J. Masad, Oct 17 2020
a(n) = a((N-1)/2), with odd N = 2*n+1 >= 3 (n >= 1), is also the primitive period length of (1/N) in binary notation: (1/N)2 = 0.repeat(a[1]a[2]...a[P(N)]), and P(N) = a((N-1)/2). E.g., N = 11 (n = 5), (1/11)_2 = 0.repeat(0001011101), with P(11) = 10 = a(5). Proof: Use a cyclic shift operation sigma (1 step to the left) on the cycle: sigma((1/N)_2) = .repeat(a[2]...a[P(N)]a[1]). Then one can prove for the composition sigma^[k] (k=0 is the identity map) written back in decimal notation the result (sigma^[k]((1/N)_2))_10 = (1/N)*2^k (mod N). E.g. N = 11, sigma^[2]((1/11)_2) = .repeat(0101110100), written in base 10 as 4/11, etc. Hence P(N) and the order of 2 modulo N coincide. - _Gary W. Adamson and Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 14 2020

			From _Vladimir Shevelev_, Oct 03 2017: (Start)
Our algorithm for the calculation of a(n) in the author's comment in A179680 (see also the Sage program below) could be represented in the form of a "finite continued fraction". For example let n = 8, 2*n+1 = 17. We have
    1 + 17
    ------- + 17
       2
    ------------- + 17
           2
    ------------------- + 17
              2
    -------------------------- = 1
                 32
Here the denominators are the A006519 of the numerators: A006519(1+17) = 2, A006519(9+17) = 2, A006519(13+17) = 2, A006519(15+17) = 32. Summing the exponents of these powers of 2, we obtain the required result: a(8) = 1 + 1 + 1 + 5 = 8. Indeed, we have (((1*32 - 17)*2 - 17)*2 - 17)*2 - 17 = 1. So 32*2*2*2 - 1 == 0 (mod 17), 2^8 - 1 == 0 (mod 17). In the general case, note that all "partial fractions" (which indeed are integers) are odd residues modulo 2*n+1 in the interval [1, 2*n-1]. It is easy to prove that the first 1 appears not later than in the n-th step. (End)

The representation of the compositions (for fixed n) is as lists of parts, the order between individual compositions (for the same n) is (list-)reversed co-lexicographic. - Joerg Arndt, Sep 02 2013
Dropping the "(list-)reversed" in the comment above gives A228525.
The equivalent sequence for partitions is A026792.
This sequence lists (without repetitions) all finite compositions, in such a way that, if [P_1, ..., P_r] denotes the composition occupying the n-th position in the list, then (((2*n/2^(P_1)-1)/2^(P_2)-1)/...)/2^(P_r)-1 = 0. - Lorenzo Sauras Altuzarra, Jan 22 2020
The k-th composition in the list is obtained by taking the set of positions of 1's in the reversed binary expansion of k, prepending 0, and taking first differences. Reversing again gives A066099, which is described as the standard ordering. Both sequences define a bijective correspondence between nonnegative integers and integer compositions. - Gus Wiseman, Apr 01 2020
It follows from the previous comment that A000120(k) is the length of the k-th composition that is listed by this sequence (recall that A000120(k) is the number of 1's in the binary expansion of k). - Lorenzo Sauras Altuzarra, Sep 29 2020

Also numbers k such that the binary digital mean dm(2, k) = (Sum_{i=1..d} 2*d_i - 1) / (2*d) = 0, where d is the number of digits in the binary representation of k and d_i the individual digits. - Reikku Kulon, Sep 21 2008
From Reikku Kulon, Sep 29 2008: (Start)
Each run of values begins with 2^(2k + 1) + 2^(k + 1) - 2^k - 1. The initial values increase according to the sequence {2^(k - 1), 2^(k - 2), 2^(k - 3), ..., 2^(k - k)}.
After this, the values follow a periodic sequence of increases by successive powers of two with single odd values interspersed.
Each run ends with an odd increase followed by increases of {2^(k - k), ..., 2^(k - 2), 2^(k - 1), 2^k}, finally reaching 2^(2k + 2) - 2^(k + 1).
Similar behavior occurs in other bases. (End)
