COMMENTS

It appears that this is the number of nonempty subsets of {1,2,...,n} with no gap of length greater than 3 (a set S has a gap of length d if a and b are in S but no x with a<x<b is in S, where b-a=d). See A119407 for the corresponding problem for gaps of length 4. - John W. Layman, Nov 02 2011

FORMULA

a(n) = +3*a(n-1) -2*a(n-2) -1*a(n-4) +1*a(n-5) [Joerg Arndt, Apr 2 2011]

a(n) =n+a(n-1)+a(n-2)+a(n-3) =(A001590(n+4)-n-3)/2

EXAMPLE

a(5)=5+15+7+3=30

MATHEMATICA

Join[{c=0}, a=b=0; Table[z=b+a+c+n; a=b; b=c; c=z, {n, 1, 40}]] (*From Vladimir Joseph Stephan Orlovsky, Apr 02 2011*)

PROG

(PARI) { a=a1=a2=a3=0; for (n=0, 300, write("b062544.txt", n, " ", a+=n + a2 + a3); a3=a2; a2=a1; a1=a ) } [From Harry J. Smith (hjsmithh(AT)sbcglobal.net), Aug 08 2009]

CROSSREFS

n plus sum of all previous terms gives A000225, n plus sum of two previous terms gives A001924, n plus previous term gives A000217, n gives A001477.
