FORMULA
Shifts left under transform T where Ta has Dirichlet g.f.: 1/(1-A(s)).
EXAMPLE
The different ways of writing the numbers 2 through 7 as lterms are:
2 = 2,
3 = 1 + 2,
4 = 1 + (1+2),
5 = 1 + (1+1+2) = 1 + 2*2,
6 = 1 + (1+1+1+2) = 1 + (1+2*2),
7 = 1 + (1+1+1+1+2) = 1 + (1+1+2*2) = 1 + 2*(1+2) = 1 + (1+2)*2.
