%N a(n) = number of shortest addition chains for n that are Brauer chains.
%C In a general addition chain, each element > 1 is a sum of two previous elements. In a Brauer chain, each element > 1 is a sum of the immediately previous element and another previous element.
%H Glen Whitney, <a href="/A079301/b079301.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..18286</a> (Terms 1..1024 from D. W. Wilson)

%H Glen Whitney, <a href="/A079300/a079300.c.txt">C program to compute A079300</a>, also generates this sequence.
%e All five of the shortest addition chains for 7 are Brauer chains: (1,2,3,4,7), (1,2,3,5,7), (1,2,3,6,7), (1,2,4,5,7), (1,2,4,6,7). Hence a(7) = 5.
%e 13 has ten shortest addition chains: (1,2,3,5,8,13), (1,2,3,5,10,13), (1,2,3,6,7,13), (1,2,3,6,12,13), (1,2,4,5,9,13), (1,2,4,6,7,13), (1,2,4,6,12,13), (1,2,4,8,9,13), (1,2,4,8,12,13), and (1,2,4,5,8,13). Of these, all but the last are Brauer chains. Hence a(13) = 9.
%e 12509 has 28 shortest addition chains, none of which are Brauer chains. Hence a(12509) = 0.
