a(n)=1 if n is in A006995, a(n)=0 otherwise.
For n<43, identical to parity of A175096.
Any permutation of the runs of n gives another such permutation when reversed. This pairs up all non-palindromic permutations of the runs of n. Thus the parity of A175096(n) is the parity of the number of palindromic run-permutations of n. For small n, this is 1 when n is a binary palindrome, and 0 otherwise.
The first exception is 43, binary 101011, which has a nontrivial palindromic run-permutation 45, binary 101101. Another kind of exception occurs first for n = 365, binary 101101101, which is a palindrome, but has another palindromic run-permutation 427, binary 110101011. (End)
Given an index n such that a(n)=1, then the following A164126(A206915(n))-1 terms will be 0. n'=A164126(A206915(n)) is the next term with a(n')=1. Therefore, if we subtract 1 from each term of A164126, we get the sequence of run lengths of 0's. - Hieronymus Fischer, Feb 19 2012.
Given an index n such that a(n)=0, then p=A206913(n) is the greatest index p<n such that a(p)=1, hence, a(k)=0 for all k with p<k<=n. Similarly, q=A206914(n) is the least index q>n such that a(q)=1, which implies a(k)=0 for all k with n<=k<q. - Hieronymus Fischer, Feb 19 2012.
Binary palindromes are distributed symmetrically with respect to threefold multiples of powers of 2. This becomes obvious by the generating function g(x) below. Example for the resulting factors of x^(3*2^5)=x^96: the factors are x^q and x^(-q) for q=3,11,23,31. Thus, the palindromes are 96+3, 96-3, 96+11, 96-11, 96+23, 96-23, 96+31, 96-31. The respective number of palindromes with this property is 2^(floor(m/2)), where m is the exponent of the corresponding power of 2. - Hieronymus Fischer, Apr 04 2012

FORMULA

G.f.: g(x) = 1 + x + x^3 + Sum{j>=1} x^(3*2^j)*(f_j(x)+f_j(1/x)), where the f_j(x) are defined as follows:
f_1(x)=x, and for j > 1,
f_j(x) = x^3*Product_{k=1..floor((j-1)/2)} (1+x^b(j,k)), where b(j,k) = 2^(floor((j-1)/2)-k)*((3+(-1)^j)*2^(2*k+1)+4) for k > 1, and b(j,1) = (2+(-1)^j)*2^(floor((j-1)/2)+1). The first explicit terms of this g.f. are
g(x) = 1 + x + x^3 + (f_1(x) + f_1(1/x))*x^6 + (f_2(x) + f_2(1/x))*x^12 + (f_3(x)+f_3(1/x))*x^24 + (f_4(x) + f_4(1/x))*x^48 + (f_5(x) + f_5(1/x))*x^96 + ... = 1 + x + x^3 + (x+1/x)*x^6 + (x^3+1/x^3)*x^12 + (x^3*(1+x^4) + (1+1/x^4)/x^3)*x^24 + (x^3*(1+x^12) + (1+1/x^12)/x^3)*x^48 + (x^3*(1+x^8)(1+x^20) + (1+1/x^20)(1+1/x^8)/x^3)*x^96 + ... - Hieronymus Fischer, Apr 02 2012
