%N Number of order-consecutive partitions of n.
%C After initial terms, first differs from A291292 at a(6) = 1352, A291292(8) = 1353.
%C Joe Keane (jgk(AT)jgk.org) observes that this sequence (beginning at 3) is "size of raises in pot-limit poker, one blind, maximum raising".
%C It appears that this sequence is the BinomialMean transform of A001653 (see A075271). - _John W. Layman_, Oct 03 2002
%C Number of (s(0), s(1), ..., s(2n+1)) such that 0 < s(i) < 8 and |s(i) - s(i-1)| = 1 for i = 1,2,...,2n+1, s(0) = 3, s(2n+1) = 4. - _Herbert Kociemba_, Jun 12 2004
%C Equals the INVERT transform of (1, 2, 5, 13, 34, 89, ...). - _Gary W. Adamson_, May 01 2009
%C a(n) is the number of compositions of n when there are 3 types of ones. - _Milan Janjic_, Aug 13 2010
%C a(n)/a(n-1) tends to (4 + sqrt(8))/2 = 3.414213.... _Gary W. Adamson_, Jul 30 2013
%C a(n) is the first subdiagonal of array A228405. - _Richard R. Forberg_, Sep 02 2013
%C Number of words of length n over {0,1,2,3,4} in which binary subwords appear in the form 10...0. - _Milan Janjic_, Jan 25 2017
%C From _Gus Wiseman_, Mar 05 2020: (Start)
%C Also the number of unimodal sequences of length n + 1 covering an initial interval of positive integers, where a sequence of integers is unimodal if it is the concatenation of a weakly increasing and a weakly decreasing sequence. For example, the a(0) = 1 through a(2) = 10 sequences are:
%C (1) (1,1) (1,1,1)
%C (1,2) (1,1,2)
%C (2,1) (1,2,1)
%C (1,2,2)
%C (1,2,3)
%C (1,3,2)
%C (2,1,1)
%C (2,2,1)
%C (2,3,1)
%C (3,2,1)
%C Missing are: (2,1,2), (2,1,3), (3,1,2).
%C Conjecture: Also the number of ordered set partitions of {1..n + 1} where no element of any block is greater than any element of a non-adjacent consecutive block. For example, the a(0) = 1 through a(2) = 10 ordered set partitions are:
%C {{1}} {{1,2}} {{1,2,3}}
%C {{1},{2}} {{1},{2,3}}
%C {{2},{1}} {{1,2},{3}}
%C {{1,3},{2}}
%C {{2},{1,3}}
%C {{2,3},{1}}
%C {{3},{1,2}}
%C {{1},{2},{3}}
%C {{1},{3},{2}}
%C {{2},{1},{3}}
%C Cf. A000670, A056242, A332673, A332872. (End)
%C a(n-1) is the number of hexagonal directed-column convex polyominoes having area n (see Baril et al. at page 4). - _Stefano Spezia_, Oct 14 2023
