Apr 14 at 15:23 comment added Max Alekseyev Btw, $\mathrm{wt}(A+1)-\mathrm{wt}(A)=1-\mathrm{tr}(A+1)$, which is a bit simpler. Also, $\mathrm{tr}(n)=\nu_2(n)$ is a more traditional notation for this function.
Apr 14 at 15:01 comment added Max Alekseyev I did not check the details carefully, but at first glance the recursion here allows a kind of binary search for computing $a(n)$ in a polynomial (possibly even linear) time in $\log n$.
Apr 14 at 13:58 comment added Notamathematician @MaxAlekseyev, thank you for comment! Are you sure? Is there any objective way to compare these speeds? It works pretty fast even for $10^{100}$.
Apr 14 at 13:47 comment added Max Alekseyev It's "without recursion" but at roughly same cost of computing sequence $b$ and figuring out where the new integers appear in it. So, the practical usefulness is limited.
