Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

Smallest (i.e., rightmost) Lyndon word in the Lyndon factorization of the binary representation of n (written using 1's and 2's rather than 0's and 1's, since numbers > 0 in the OEIS cannot begin with 0).

FORMULA
a(2k) is always 1 (i.e., 0).
EXAMPLE
n=25 has binary expansion 11001, which has Lyndon factorization (1)(1)(001) with three factors. The rightmost factor is 001, which we write as a(25) = 112.
The real sequence (written with 0's and 1's rather than 1's and 2's) is:
0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 01, 0, 1, 0, 001, 0, 011, 0, 01, 0, 1, 0, 0001, 0, 0011, 0, 01, 0, 0111, 0, 001, 0, 011, 0, 01, 0, 1, 0, 00001, 0, 00011, 0, 00101, 0, 00111, 0, 001, 0, 01011, 0, 01, 0, 01111, 0, 0001, 0, 0011, 0, 01, 0, 0111, 0, 001, 0, 011, ...
