COMMENTS

m=2 gives an addition sequence alternating ones, but all the sequences of m to m=10 seem to give new sequences. It seems a comment on human history in its cycles. I was inspired by Per Bak, but his definition is a random/ probabilistic one for sand pile collapse: here the collapse is sure and has a definite cycle length.

FORMULA

a(n) = a(n-2) if 3|n, otherwise a(n)= a(n-1)+a(n-2).

a(n)= +2*a(n-3) +a(n-6). G.f. -x*(1+x+x^2+x^4)/(-1+2*x^3+x^6). [R. J. Mathar, Dec 08 2010]

a(3n+1) = A000129(n+1). a(3n)=A000129(n). a(3n+2)= A078057(n). [R. J. Mathar, Dec 08 2010]
