Comments

[Empirical] a(base,n)=a(base-1,n)+A005191(n+1) for base>=2.int(n/2)+1.

See A285280 for confirmation of linear recurrence and code to produce sequence; also confirms conjectured g.f. from Colin Barker. - Ray Chandler, Aug 12 2023.

Formula

G.f.: (1 - x - 27*x^2 + 27*x^3 + 201*x^4 - 313*x^5 + 8*x^6 + 112*x^7 - 7*x^8 - 9*x^9) / ((1 - x)*(1 + x)*(1 - 4*x + x^2 + x^3)*(1 - 7*x + 11*x^2 - x^4)). - Colin Barker, Jun 01 2017
