Conjecture: this is also the "tree" sequence in a 120-degree sector of the cellular automaton of A266532.

It appears that this is also the partial sums of A038573.

a(n) is also the total number of ON cells after n-th stage in the tree that arises from one of the four spokes in a 90-degree sector of the cellular automaton A160720 on the square grid.

Note that the structure of A160720 is also the "outward" version of the Ulam-Warburton cellular automaton of A147562.

It appears that A038573 gives the number of cells turned ON at n-th stage.

Conjecture: a(n) is also the total number of Y-toothpicks after n-th stage in the tree that arises from one of the three spokes in a 120-degree sector of the cellular automaton of A266532 on the triangular grid.

Note that the structure of A266532 is also the "outward" version of the Y-toothpick cellular automaton of A160120.

It appears that A038573 also gives the number of Y-toothpicks added at n-th stage.

Comment from N. J. A. Sloane, Jan 23 2016: All the above conjectures are true!

From Gus Wiseman, Mar 31 2019: (Start)

a(n) is also the number of nondecreasing binary-containment pairs of positive integers up to n. A pair of positive integers is a binary containment if the positions of 1's in the reversed binary expansion of the first are a subset of the positions of 1's in the reversed binary expansion of the second. For example, the a(1) = 1 through a(6) = 12 pairs are:

(1,1) (1,1) (1,1) (1,1) (1,1) (1,1)

(2,2) (1,3) (1,3) (1,3) (1,3)

(2,2) (2,2) (1,5) (1,5)

(2,3) (2,3) (2,2) (2,2)

(3,3) (3,3) (2,3) (2,3)

(4,4) (3,3) (2,6)

(4,4) (3,3)

(4,5) (4,4)
