COMMENTS
The formula (the recurrence, if confirmed to be equal to sum binomial formula) implies that this is the run length transform of the sequence 1,2,3,4,5,... - N. J. A. Sloane, Feb 05 2015. Note: That sequence should be considered as a successor function a(n) = n+1, starting from offset 0. See also A020725. - Antti Karttunen, Oct 15 2016
The recurrence formula is correct. See paper in links. - Chai Wah Wu, Oct 16 2016

FORMULA
a(0)=1, a(2n) = a(n), a(4n+1) = 2*a(2n), a(4n+3) = 2*a(2n+1) - a(n).
From Antti Karttunen, Oct 15 2016: (Start)
a(n) = A000005(A005940(1+n)). [Follows from the Run Length Transform-interpretation.]
For n > 1, a(n^2) is always even. [Based on RLT-interpretation. n^2 = 1 modulo 4 for all odd n and ((2^k)*n)^2 = 2^(2k) * (n^2), thus the last 1-bit is always alone and contributes 2 to the product, making it even.]

(Scheme, two mathematically equal implementations, based on RLT-interpretation)
;; The first one implements the given recurrence and uses memoization-macro definec:
(definec (A106737 n) (cond ((zero? n) 1) ((even? n) (A106737 (/ n 2))) ((= 1 (modulo n 4)) (* 2 (A106737 (/ (- n 1) 2)))) (else (- (* 2 (A106737 (/ (- n 1) 2))) (A106737 (/ (- n 3) 4))))))
;; This one applies the Run Length Transform explicitly to r -> r+1 function:
(define (A106737 n) (fold-left (lambda (a r) (* a (+ 1 r))) 1 (bisect (reverse (binexp->runcount1list n)) (- 1 (modulo n 2))))) ;; See A227349 for the required other functions.
