Comments

From Robert A. Proctor, Jul 18 2017: (Start)

a(n) is the number of words of length n on {1,2,...,r} with positive multiplicities as 1 <= r <= n avoiding the pattern 123. [This is easy to see from the next comment.]

a(n) is the number of 123-avoiding ordered set partitions of {1,2,...,n}. [This is Cor. 2.3 of the Chen-Dai-Zhou reference.] (End)

Examples

			From _Gus Wiseman_, Jun 25 2020: (Start)
The a(0) = 1 through a(3) = 12 words that are (1,2,3)-avoiding and cover an initial interval:
  ()  (1)  (1,1)  (1,1,1)
           (1,2)  (1,1,2)
           (2,1)  (1,2,1)
                  (1,2,2)
                  (1,3,2)
                  (2,1,1)
                  (2,1,2)
                  (2,1,3)
                  (2,2,1)
                  (2,3,1)
                  (3,1,2)
                  (3,2,1)
