An infiltration of two words, say x and y, is a shuffle of x and y optionally followed by replacements of pairs of consecutive equal symbols, say two d's, one of which comes from x and the other from y, by a single d (that cannot be part of another replacement); a(n) is the number of distinct infiltrations of the word given by the binary representation of n with itself.

COMMENTS
Leading zeros in binary expansions are ignored.
See A191755 for the definition of a shuffle.
FORMULA
a(n) >= A193020(n).
a(2^k - 1) = k + 1 for any k >= 0.
a(2^k) = A000096(k + 1) for any k >= 0.
EXAMPLE
For n = 2:
- the binary expansion of 2 is "10",
- we have essentially the following infiltrations:
x 10 10 1 0 10 1 0
y 10 1 0 10 10 1 0
-- --- --- ---- ----
infiltration 10 100 110 1010 1100
- so a(2) = 5.
