COMMENTS
From Antti Karttunen: this is also a version of A003188: a(n) = A003188(n) - 2^floor(log_2(A003188(n))), that is, the corresponding Gray code expansion, but with highest 1-bit turned off. Also a(n) = A003188(n) - 2^floor(log_2(n)).
From John W. Layman: {a(n)} is a self-similar sequence under Kimberling's "upper-trimming" operation.
a(A000225(n)) = 0; a(A062289(n)) > 0; a(A038558(n)) = n. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 06 2013

FORMULA
If 2*2^k <= n < 3*2^k then a(n) = 2^k + a(2^(k+2)-n-1); if 3*2^k <= n < 4*2^k then a(n) = a(n-2^(k+1)). - Henry Bottomley, May 11 2000
G.f.: (1/(1-x)) * Sum_{k>=0} 2^k*(t^4-t^3+t^2)/(1+t^2), t=x^2^k. - Ralf Stephan, Sep 10 2003
a(0)=0, a(2n) = 2*a(n) + [n odd], a(2n+1) = 2*a(n) + [n>0 even]. - Ralf Stephan, Oct 20 2003
a(0) = a(1) = 0, a(4n) = 2*a(2n), a(4n+2) = 2*a(2n+1)+1, a(4n+1) = 2*a(2n)+1, a(4n+3) = 2*a(2n+1). Proof by Nikolaus Meyberg following a conjecture by Ralf Stephan.
EXAMPLE
If n = 18 = 10010_2, derivative is (1+0)(0+0)(0+1)(1+0) = 1011_2, so a(18)=11.
