a(n) = a(1 + A006257(n-2)) + Sum_{i = 1..n-1} a(i) for n >= 4 with a(1) = a(2) = 1 and a(3) = 2.
EXAMPLE
From Petros Hadjicostas, Sep 24 2019: (Start)
a(4) = a(1 + A006257(4-2)) + a(1) + a(2) + a(3) = a(2) + a(1) + a(2) + a(3) = 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 5.
a(5) = a(1 + A006257(5-2)) + a(1) + a(2) + a(3) + a(4) = a(4) + a(1) + a(2) + a(3) + a(4) = 5 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 5 = 14.
a(6) = a(1 + A006257(6-2)) + a(1) + a(2) + a(3) + a(4) + a(5) = a(2) + a(1) + a(2) + a(3) + a(4) + a(5) = 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 5 + 14 = 24.
