Abstract
In a recent post on the Seqfan list the third author proposed conjectures concerning the summatory function of odious numbers (i.e., of numbers whose sum of binary digits is odd), and of evil numbers (i.e., of numbers whose sum of binary digits is even). We prove these conjectures here. We will also study the sequences of “generalized” odious and evil numbers, and their iterations, giving in particular a characterization of the sequences of usual odious and evil numbers in terms of functional equations satisfied by their compositions.
