A278288 a(n) is the number of ways to represent a(n-1) as a sum of two distinct terms from a(0) to a(n-2). a(0) = 0. a(1) = a(2) = 1. 1

%N a(n) is the number of ways to represent a(n-1) as a sum of two distinct terms from a(0) to a(n-2). a(0) = 0. a(1) = a(2) = 1.

%C a(n) is the number of pairs (j, k) such that a(j) + a(k) = a(n-1), with 0 <= j, k < n-1 and j != k.

%C For large n, a(n) on average follows linear law a(n) ~ 0.7 n with linear spread (see the plot).

%C Unlike sequences such as A248034 or A276457, this sequence is base-independent.

%e a(2) = a(1) + a(0), so a(3) = 1.

%e a(3) = a(1) + a(0) = a(2) + a(0), so a(4) = 2.

%e a(4) = a(3) + a(2) = a(3) + a(1) = a(2) + a(1), so a(5) = 3.
