For any nonnegative number n with binary expansion Sum_{k >= 0} b_k * 2^k, a(n) is the real part of f(n) = Sum_{k >= 0} b_k * (i^Sum_{j = 0..k-1} b_j) * (1+i)^k (where i denotes the imaginary unit); sequence A348691 gives the imaginary part.

COMMENTS
|
The function f defines a bijection from the nonnegative integers to the Gaussian integers.
The function f has similarities with A065620; here the nonzero digits in base 1+i cycle through powers of i, there nonzero digits in base 2 cycle through powers of -1.
If we replace 1's in binary expansions by powers of i from left to right (rather than right to left as here), then we obtain the Lévy C curve (A332251, A332252).
