From Gus Wiseman, Nov 25 2019: (Start)
a(n) is the number of subsets of {1..n} containing n such that if x and x + 2 are both in the subset, then so is x + 1. For example, the a(1) = 1 through a(5) = 9 subsets are:
{1} {2} {3} {4} {5}
{1,2} {2,3} {1,4} {1,5}
{1,2,3} {3,4} {2,5}
{2,3,4} {4,5}
{1,2,3,4} {1,2,5}
{1,4,5}
{3,4,5}
{2,3,4,5}
{1,2,3,4,5}
