%N A011784 Levine's sequence. First construct a triangle as follows. Row 1 is {1,
1}; if row n is {r_1, ..., r_k} then row n+1 consists of {r_k 1's,
r_{k-1} 2's, r_{k-2} 3's, etc.}; sequence consists of the final elements
in each row.

%F A011784 Additional remarks: The sequence is generated by this array, the final
term in each row forming the sequence:
%F A011784 1 1
%F A011784 1 2
%F A011784 1 1 2
%F A011784 1 1 2 3
%F A011784 1 1 1 2 2 3 4
%F A011784 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 6 7
%F A011784 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5 6 6 6 7 7 7 8 8 9

%F A011784 ...
%F A011784 where we start with the first row {1 1} and produce the rest of the array
recursively as follows:
%F A011784 Suppose line n is {a_1, ..., a_k}; then line n+1 contains a_k 1's, a_{k-1}
2's, etc.
%F A011784 So the fifth line contains three 1's, two 2's, one 3 and one 4.
%F A011784 The sequence is 1,2,2,3,4,7,14,42,213,2837,175450,...,
%F A011784 where the n-th term a(n) is the sum of the elements in row n-2
%F A011784 = the number of elements in row n-1
%F A011784 = the last element in row n
%F A011784 = the number of 1's in row n+1
%F A011784 = ...
%F A011784 If the n-th row is r_{n,i} then
%F A011784 Sum_{i=1..f(n+1)} (a(n+1) - i + 1)*r_{n,i} ) = a(n+3)
%F A011784 Let {a( )} be the sequence; s(i,j) = j-th partial sum of the i-th row,
%F A011784 L(i) is the length of that row and S(i) = its sum. Then
%F A011784 L(i+1) = a(i+2) = S(i) = s(i,a(i+1));
%F A011784 L(i+2) = SUM(s(i,j));
%F A011784 L(i+3) = SUM(s(i,j)*(1+s(i,j))/2) (Allan Wilks).
%F A011784 Eric Rains and Bjorn Poonen have shown (6/97) that the log of the n-th
term is asymptotic to constant times phi^n, where phi = golden number.
%F A011784 This follows from the inequalities S(n) <= a(n)L(n) and S(n+1) >= ([L(n+1)/
a(n)]+1) choose 2)*a(n).
%F A011784 The n-th term is approximately exp(a*phi^n)/I, where phi = golden number,
a = .05427 (last digit perhaps 6 or 8), I = .277 (last digit perhaps
6 or 8) (Colin Mallows).
%F A011784 a(n+2) = n-th row sum of A012257; e.g. 5-th row of A012257 is {1, 1,
1, 2, 2, 3, 4} and the sum of elements is 1+1+1+2+2+3+4=14=a(7) -
