(Greetings from The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences!)
A005269 a(n) = number of length-n sequences s with s[1]=1, s[2]=1, s[k-1] <=s[k] <= s[k-2]+s[k-1] (s is called a sub-Fibonacci sequence of length n).

FORMULA
See the Maple program; f[k](x, y) is the number of sequences s[1], s[2], ..., s[k+2] such that s[1]=x, s[2]=y, s[j-1] <=s[j] <= s[j-2]+s[j-1]. - Emeric Deutsch and Don Reble, Feb 07 2005
EXAMPLE
G.f. = x^2 + 2*x^3 + 4*x^4 + 10*x^5 + 31*x^6 + 127*x^7 + 711*x^8 + 5621*x^9 + ...
a(4)=4 because we have (1,1,1,1), (1,1,1,2), (1,1,2,2), (1,1,2,3).
MAPLE
f[0]:=1:for k from 0 to 19 do f[k+1]:=expand(sum(subs({x=y, y=z}, f[k]), z=y..x+y)) od: seq(subs({x=1, y=1}, f[k]), k=0..19);
