%F a(1) = 1; a(2) = 3.
%F It appears that a(n) = 1 + ((A151724(n) + A151724(n-1))/3, n >= 3.
%F It appears that a(n) = 1 + ((A151723(n) - A151723(n-2))/3, n >= 3.
%F It appears that a(n) = 1 + 2*(A170898(n-2) + A170898(n-3)), n >= 3.
%F a(3) = 5.
%F It appears that a(n) = 1 + 2*(A169779(n-2) - A169779(n-4)), n >= 4.
%e Written as an irregular triangle in which the row lengths are the absolute values of the terms of A141531, the sequence begins:
