It appears that this is the number of nonempty subsets of {1,2,...,n} with no gap of length greater than 3 (a set S has a gap of length d if a and b are in S but no x with aA119407 for the corresponding problem for gaps of length 4. - John W. Layman, Nov 02 2011
a(n-3) is the number of compositions of n with no part divisible by 3 and an odd number of parts congruent to 4 or 5 modulo 6. See Moser & Whitney reference. a(2) = 3 counts (5), (4,1), and (1,4) among the compositions of 5. - Brian Hopkins, Sep 06 2019

Examples

			a(5) = 5 + 15 + 7 + 3 = 30.
x + 3*x^2 + 7*x^3 + 15*x^4 + 30*x^5 + 58*x^6 + 110*x^7 + 206*x^8 + 383*x^9 + ...

Formula

a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 2*a(n-2) - 1*a(n-4) + 1*a(n-5). - Joerg Arndt, Apr 02 2011
a(n) = n + a(n-1) + a(n-2) + a(n-3) =(A001590(n+4) - n - 3)/2.
G.f.: x / ((1 - x) * (1 - 2*x + x^4)). a(n) = 2*a(n-1) - a(n-4) + 1. - Michael Somos, Dec 28 2012
a(n) = A325473(n+3) - (n+3). - Brian Hopkins, Sep 06 2019
