Comments

Given a term b>0 of the sequence and its left hand neighbor c, the corresponding unique sequence index n with property a(n)=b can be determined by n(b)=e+(b-d*(e+1)+2*(e-1))/d, where d=b-c and e=2^d. - Hieronymus Fischer, Dec 05 2006

a(n) gives index of start of binary expansion of n in the binary Champernowne sequence A076478. - N. J. A. Sloane, Dec 14 2017

a(n) is the number of pairs in ancestor relationship (= transitive closure of the parent relationship) in all (binary) heaps on n elements. - Alois P. Heinz, Feb 13 2019

Formula

a(n) = A001855(n+1) - n.

a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} floor(log_2(k)) = (n+1)*floor(log_2(n)) - 2*(2^floor(log_2(n)) - 1). - Diego Torres (torresvillarroel(AT)hotmail.com), Oct 29 2002

a(n) = A123753(n) - 2*n - 1. - Peter Luschny, Nov 30 2017
