%C a(n+1) is the number of (finite) positive integer sequences b(1),...,b(k) with b(1) + Sum_{i=1..k-1} (1+max{b(i+1)-b(i), 0}) <= n. - Klaus Strassburger. [E.g., a(4)=8 since the integer sequences are 1; 2; 3; 1,1; 1,2; 2,1; 2,2; 1,1,1.]

%F G.f. (conjecture): 1 - G(0)/(1-x), where G(k)= 1 - 1/(1 - x/(1 - x/(1 - x/(1 - x/(x - 1/G(k+1)))))); (continued fraction). - _Sergei N. Gladkovskii_, Jul 12 2013

%F G.f. (conjecture): (2*x^3-x^2+2*x-1+sqrt(x^4+2*x^2-4*x+1))/(2*x^2-2*x). - _Michael D. Weiner_, Dec 17 2019
