COMMENTS
Numbers of the form (2*k+1) * 2^e where e >= 1, k+e is even. In other words, union of {(4*m+1) * 2^(2t)} and {(4*m+3) * 2^(2t-1)}, where m >= 0, t > 0.
Numbers whose quaternary (base-4) expansion ends in 100...00 or 1200..00 or 3200..00. At least one trailing zero is required in the first case but not in the latter two cases.
There are precisely 2^(N-2) terms <= 2^N for every N >= 2.
Also even indices of 1 in A209615. - Jianing Song, Apr 24 2021

FORMULA
a(n) = 2*A338691(n). - Hugo Pfoertner, Apr 26 2021
EXAMPLE
A003324 starts with 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 4, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 4, 3, 4, ... We have A003324(4) = A003324(6) = A003324(14) = A003324(16) = ... = 4, so this sequence starts with 4, 6, 14, 16, ...
