FORMULA
a(n) = (A007814(n) + 1)^2 = A001511(n)^2 for n>=1, with a(0)=1, where A007814(n) is the exponent of the highest power of 2 dividing n.
Multiplicative with a(2^e) = (e + 1)^2, a(p^e) = 1 for odd prime p. - Andrew Howroyd, Jul 31 2018
From Amiram Eldar, Dec 29 2022: (Start)
Dirichlet g.f.: zeta(s)*(4^s+2^s)/(2^s-1)^2.
Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ 6*n. (End)
EXAMPLE
Surprisingly, the following analog of the Riemann zeta function:
Z(x,s) = Sum_{n>=0} x^(2^n-1)/(n+1)^s = 1 + x/2^s + x^3/3^s +x^7/4^s+..
may be expressed by the continued fraction:
Z(x,s) = [1; f(1)^s/x, -f(2)^s/x, -f(3)^s/x,...,f(n)^s*(-1)^e(n)/x,...]
such that the (2^n-1)-th convergent = Sum_{k=0..n} x^(2^k-1)/(k+1)^s,
where f(n) = (b(n)+2)/(b(n)+1)^2 and e(n) = A073089(n+1) for n>=1,
and b(n) = A007814(n) the exponent of highest power of 2 dividing n.
