COMMENT

Most of the natural numbers are members. Conjecture: there are infinitely many nonmembers. Is there an estimate for a(k)/k ?

A118164(n) = number of representations of a(n) as sum of consecutive earlier terms. - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Apr 13 2006

EXAMPLE

After 1,2,3,5,6 you can adjoin 8 = 3+5, 10 = 2+3+5, etc.

12 is not a term since it is not the sum of any set of consecutive previous terms.
