COMMENT

FORMULA

a(2n) = 2a(n), a(2n+1) = (-1)^n. G.f. sum(k>=0, 2^k*t/(1+t^2), t=x^2^k). a(n) = 2^A007814(n) * (-1)^((n/2^A007814(n)-1)/2). - Ralf Stephan (ralf(AT)ark.in-berlin.de), Oct 29 2003

EXAMPLE

Since A003188(n) is 0 1 3 2 6 7 5 4 12 13 15 14 10 ..., a(n) begins 1 2 -1 4 1 -2 -1 8 1 2 -1 4 ...

PROGRAM

(PARI) a(n)=((-1)^((n/2^valuation(n, 2)-1)/2)*2^valuation(n, 2) (from Ralf Stephan)
