cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

Analog of A161644, A147562 and A151723, but here we are working without a lattice. Each regular pentagon has five virtual neighbors. Overlapping are prohibited. The sequence gives the number of pentagons in the structure after n-th stage. A222181 (the first differences) gives the number of pentagons added at n-th stage.
Also this is a P-toothpick sequence since every pentagon can be replaced by a P-toothpick which is formed by five toothpicks as a five-pointed star. Note that each toothpick can be represented as an apothem or as a radius of a pentagon. In both types of structures the number of toothpicks after n-th stage is equal to 5*a(n).

The initial pattern consists of 5 straight line segments which are the radii of a regular pentagon. Their free ends are the ends of elements that do not contact or cross the other ones. Overlaps among different generations are prohibited except for one segment that connects between center points.
It appears that the sequence would be analog to 5*A032766 if the overlaps among different generations were prohibited without exception. See illustration in the links.
The terms of this sequence should be checked. - Omar E. Pol, Apr 13 2015

Essentially the first differences of A222172.
Also number of P-toothpicks added at n-th stage to the P-toothpick structure of A222172.
First differs from A152978 at a(9).

Examples

			Apparently this is an irregular triangle:
0;
1, 1;
1, 2, 3, 2;
1, 2, 4, 4, 3, 5, 7, 4;
