Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N G.f. satisfies: A(x) = 1/(1 + x*A(x^6)) and also the continued fraction: 1+x*A(x^7) = [1;1/x,1/x^6,1/x^36,1/x^216,...,1/x^(6^(n-1)),...].
%C This sequence resembles the series expansion of B(x) = (1+x^6)/(1+x+x^6). The first difference occurs at a(43) = 415 versus a(43) = 414. - _Johannes W. Meijer_, Aug 08 2011
%F a(0) = 1; a(n) = -Sum_{k=0..floor((n-1)/6)} a(k) * a(n-6*k-1). - _Ilya Gutkovskiy_, Mar 01 2022
