%N Fibonacci sequence beginning 1, 18.

%C a(n-1)=sum(P(18;n-1-k,k),k=0..ceiling((n-1)/2)), n>=1, with a(-1)=17. These are the SW-NE diagonals in P(18;n,k), the (18,1) Pascal triangle. Cf. A093645 for the (10,1) Pascal triangle. Observation by _Paul Barry_, Apr 29 2004. Proof via recursion relations and comparison of inputs.
