a(n)=2*a(n-1)-2*a(n-3)+a(n-4) for n>5, apparently. rhhardin at mindspring.com rhhardin at att.net (either)

 Subject: [seqfan] Looking for an interpretation
   
Consider the algorithm:

x, y = 1, 2
repeat:
  print x
  x, y = x + y, x//y + 1

The assignment is simultaneous and x//y means floor(x/y).
This leads to:

1, 3, 4, 8, 10, 15, 18, 24, 28, 35, 40, 48, 54, 63, 70, ...

Can you contribute a combinatorial interpretation of this sequence?

Cheers, Peter
