The sequence b(n>=1) = 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 4, 4, 7, ... of absolute values counts fountains of n coins that cannot be separated into two or more fountains by cutting vertically through the fountain without splitting a coin. (This separation requires that the fountain is a left-right sequence of more elementary fountains counted by b(n).) A005169(n) = Sum_{compositions n=n1+n2+n3+...} Product b(n1)*b(n2)*.... - R. J.
