COMMENTS

It can be shown that, like the Fibonacci numbers, the tribonacci numbers are complete; that is, a(n)>0 for all n. There is always a representation, free of three consecutive tribonacci numbers, which is analogous to the Zeckendorf representation of Fibonacci numbers. See A003726.

EXAMPLE

a(14)=2 because 14 is both 13+1 and 7+4+2+1.

MATHEMATICA

tr={1, 2, 4, 7, 13, 24, 44, 81, 149}; len=tr[[ -1]]; cnt=Table[0, {len}]; Do[v=IntegerDigits[k, 2, Length[tr]]; s=Dot[tr, v]; If[s<=len, cnt[[s]]++ ], {k, 2^(Length[tr])-1}]; cnt
