%F It appears that a(n) = A160164(n) - A169707(n). - _Omar E. Pol_, Feb 17 2015

%e When written as a triangle:

%e 1

%e 1, 5;

%e 1, 5, 9, 13;

%e 1, 5, 9, 13, 9, 21, 33, 29;

%e ...

%e Rows sums are A006516 (this is immediate from the definition).

%e From _Omar E. Pol_, Feb 17 2015: (Start)

%e Also, written as an irregular triangle in which the row lengths are the terms of A011782:

%e 1;

%e 1;

%e 5,1;

%e 5,9,13,1;

%e 5,9,13,9,21,33,29,1;

%e 5,9,13,9,21,33,29,9,21,33,37,41,77,97,61,1;

%e 5,9,13,9,21,33,29,9,21,33,37,41,77,97,61,9,21,33,37,41,77,97,69,41,77,105,117,161,253,257,125,1;

%e Row sums give 1 together with the positive terms of A006516.

%e It appears that the right border (A000012) gives the smallest difference between A160164 and A169707 in every period.
