I stumbled the other day on A000975, A077854 and A153234, for which I noticed that a(n)+a(n+1)=2^(n+1)-1=A000225;
a(n)+a(n+2)=2^(n+2)-1 and a(n)+a(n+3)=2^n-1.

(If in A153234 the first three 0's were omitted, the last formula would have been a(n)+a(n+3)= 2^(n+3)-1.)

 

It is easy to continue this sequence of sequences with a(n)+a(n+k)=A000225(n+k), giving new entries (AFAICS) in OEIS for k=4,...,10:

But is this worthwhile to include these sequences in OEIS? 

Since this process is possible for any sequence.
