Comments

A 17-divide version of A084230.

The Harborth : f(2^k)=3^k suggests that a family of sequences of the form: f(2^k)=Prime[n]^k There does indeed seem to be an infinite family of such functions.

Formula

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n-1} 16^wt(k), where wt = A000120. - Mike Warburton, Mar 22 2019

Maple

a:=proc(n) if n=0 then 0 elif n=1 then 1 elif n mod 2 = 0 then 17*a(n/2) else 16*a((n-1)/2)+a((n+1)/2) fi end: seq(a(n), n=0..38);

Mathematica

b[0] := 0; b[1] := 1; b[n_?EvenQ] := b[n] = 17*b[n/2]; b[n_?OddQ] := b[n] = 16*b[(n - 1)/2] + b[(n + 1)/2]; a = Table[b[n], {n, 1, 25}]
