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”).

A132853
Number of sequences {c(i), i=0..n} that form the initial terms of a self-convolution cube of an integer sequence such that 0 < c(n) <= 3*c(n-1) for n>0 with c(0)=1.

COMMENTS
Equals the number of nodes at generation n in the 3-convoluted tree. The minimal path in the 3-convoluted tree is A083953 and the maximal path is A132835. The 3-convoluted tree is defined as follows: tree of all finite sequences {c(k), k=0..n} that form the initial terms of a self-convolution cube of some integer sequence such that 0 < c(n) <= 3*c(n-1) for n>0 with a(0)=1.
EXAMPLE
a(n) counts the nodes in generation n of the following tree.
Generations 0..4 of the 3-convoluted tree are as follows;
The path from the root is shown, with child nodes enclosed in [].

Each path in the tree from the root node forms the initial terms of
a self-convolution cube of a sequence of integer terms.
