COMMENTS
The PARI functions t1, t2 can be used to read a triangular array T(n,k) (n >= 0, 0 <= k <= floor(n/2)) by rows from left to right: n -> T(t1(n), t2(n)).
a(n) gives the number of distinct positive values taken by [n/k]. E.g., a(5)=3: [5/{1,2,3,4,5}]={5,2,1,1,1}. - Marc LeBrun, May 17 2001
This sequence gives the elements in increasing order of the set {i+2j} where i>=0, j>=0. - Benoit Cloitre, Sep 22 2012

FORMULA
a(n) = [sqrt(4*n + 1)] - 1 = A000267(n) - 1.
a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} A063524(A075993(n, k)), for n>0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Apr 06 2006
a(n) = ceiling(2*sqrt(n+1)) - 2. - Mircea Merca, Feb 05 2012
a(0) = 0, then for n>=1 a(n) = 1 + a(n-1-floor(a(n-1)/2)). - Benoit Cloitre, May 08 2017
a(n) = floor(b) + floor(n/(floor(b)+1)) where b = (sqrt(4*n+1)-1)/2. - Randell G Heyman, May 08 2019
Sum_{k>=1} (-1)^(k+1)/a(k) = Pi/8 + 3*log(2)/4. - Amiram Eldar, Jan 26 2024
