Form the infinite matrix:
1 2 4 7 11 ...
3 5 8 12 17 ...
6 9 13 18 24 ...
10 14 19 25 32 ...
15 20 26 33 41 ...
...
The diagonal elements are b(n) = 1, 5, 13, 25, 41, ... = 2*n*(n-1)+1 = A001844(n-1).
M(n,m) = ((n+m)^2-n-3*m+2)/2.
a(n) = M(n,b(n)) = M(1,1), M(2,5), M(3,13), M(4,25), M(5,41), ...
Let us define the PHI algebra as follows:
The basis of the PHI algebra is the PHI(1), PHI(2), PHI(3), ... elements, and the production rules are:
PHI(M(n,m))*PHI(n) = PHI(m) and every other production is zero.
An element of the PHI algebra is X = Sum_{n>=1} c(n)*PHI(n), where c(n) are real or complex constants.
UNIT = Sum_{n>=1} PHI(b(n)) = PHI(1) + PHI(5) + PHI(13) + PHI(25)+ ...
For every X elements: UNIT*X = X.
OMEGA = Sum_{n>=1} PHI(n) = PHI(1) + PHI(2) + PHI(3) + ...
ULTRA = Sum_{n>=1} PHI(a(n)) = PHI(1) + PHI(17) + PHI(108) + PHI(382) + ...
ULTRA*OMEGA = UNIT.
The PHI algebra is a nonassociative, but universal algebra; every finite or countable algebra can be modeled in the PHI algebra.

FORMULA
G.f.: (2*x^4 + 33*x^3 + 12*x^2 + x)/(1-x)^5.
E.g.f.: (1/2)*(4*x^4 + 20*x^3 + 15*x^2 + 2*x)*exp(x).
a(1)=1, a(2)=17, a(3)=108, a(4)=382, a(5)=995, a(n) = 5*a(n-1) - 10*a(n-2) + 10*a(n-3) - 5*a(n-4) + a(n-5). - Harvey P. Dale, May 25 2012
