The generating function is 1/(1-x-x^m). Also a(n) = sum(binomial(n-(m-1)*i, i), i=0..n/m). This family of binomial summations or recurrences gives the number of ways to cover (without overlapping) a linear lattice of n sites with molecules that are m sites wide. Special case: m=1: A000079; m=4: A003269; m=5: A003520; m=6: A005708; m=7: A005709; m=8: A005710. %D A005708 E. Di Cera and Y.
