%C A001359 It is conjectured that A113910(n+4) = a(n+2) for all n. [From Creighton
Dement (creighton.k.dement(AT)uni-oldenburg.de), Jan 15 2009]
%C A001359 I would like to conjecture that if f(x) is a series whose terms are x^n,
where n represents the terms of sequence A001359, and if we inspect
{f(x)}^5, the conjecture is that every term of the expansion, say
a_n * x^n, where n is odd and at least equal to 15, has a_n >= 1
. This is not true for {f(x)}^k, k = 1, 2, 3 or 4, but appears to
be true for k >= 5 . [From Paul Bruckman (pbruckman(AT)hotmail.com),
