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”).

COMMENTS
I generalize the Ulam sequence by allowing any positive integer values (i and j) for the first two terms. Subsequent terms are all those integers which are a unique sum of two distinct earlier terms. In this sequence, a(n) is the number of distinct sequences (as defined by the first two terms) where 1 <= i < n-1 and i < j <= n-1.

EXAMPLE
a(10) = 12, since 10 occurs as a term in 12 different generalized Ulam sequences. The first two values of each are: (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6) (1,7) (1,8) (1,9) (2,6) (2,8) (3,4) (3,7) (4,6). It does not occur in the sequence (1,2) which runs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11...
