EXAMPLE
There are a(5) = 15 such compositions of 5:
01: [ 1 1 1 1 1 ]
02: [ 1 1 1 2 ]
03: [ 1 1 2 1 ]
04: [ 1 1 3 ]
05: [ 1 2 1 1 ]
06: [ 1 2 2 ]
07: [ 1 3 1 ]
08: [ 2 1 1 1 ]
09: [ 2 1 2 ]
10: [ 2 2 1 ]
11: [ 2 3 ]
12: [ 3 1 1 ]
13: [ 3 2 ]
14: [ 4 1 ]
15: [ 5 ]
(the single forbidden composition is [ 1 4 ]).
MAPLE
