Comments

a(2^n) = 2^n, in other cases a(n) < n. Except for the initial 1 all entries are repeated. Apparently no simple formula is known for a(n).

Taking every other term seems to give A101925. - Dominick Cancilla, Aug 03 2010

1/a(n) is the probability that a randomly chosen divisor of n! is odd. This is because the product n! contains the prime factor 2 a total of a(n) - 1 times (cf. A011371) and thus the prime factor 2 can occur in a divisor of n! a total of a(n) times, ranging between 0 and a(n) - 1 times. - Martin Renner, Dec 28 2022

Formula

From Paul Barry, Aug 27 2006: (Start)

a(n) = ( Sum_{k=0..n} floor(n/2^k) ) - n + 1.

a(n) = 2 + Sum_{k=0..n} ( floor(n/2^k)-1 ).

a(n) = A005187(n) - n + 1. (End)

a(n) = n + O(log n). - Charles R Greathouse IV, Mar 12 2017

a(n) = A011371(n) + 1 for n > 0. - Martin Renner, Dec 28 2022

Mathematica

a[1]=1; a[n_]:=a[n]=a[Floor[n/2]]+Floor[n/2]; Table[a[n], {n, 100}]
