COMMENTS
The BASIC program implements a(n) = A188163(A188163(n-1))+a(abs(n-a(n-1))) , which does not work as soon as n=5, because a(5) appears at the left and at the right hand side of the equation. This also differs from the recurrence quoted in the NAME section. Another apparent source of confusion is that a(n) in the NAME is probably meant to read A004001(n). Perhaps (but this is not clear), the b(n) in the NAME was thought to define the current sequence, but a(n) = A188163(A188163(n-1)) + A004001(abs(n-A004001(n-1)) gives a different sequence. - R. J.
