A348386

Lexicographically earliest sequence of positive integers such that for any n > 0, a(n) is the number of nonempty runs of consecutive terms whose sum is n.

COMMENTS

This sequence has similarities with Golomb's sequence (A001462); here we consider sums of one or more consecutive terms, there single terms.

This sequence is not weakly increasing: a(724) = 91 > a(725) = 90.
