A sequence
(x x
1
,
2
,
⋯
,
x
m
)of m terms is called an OE-sequence if the following two
conditions are satisfied:
a.
for any positive integer 1
≤ ≤ −
i
m
1
, we have
x
i
≤
x
i
+
1
;
b.
all the odd numbered terms
x
1
,
x
3
,
x
5
, ...are odd integer, and all the even
numbered terms
x
2
,
x
4
,
x
6
,... are even integer.
For instance, there are only 7 OE-sequences in which the largest term is at most 4,
namely, (1), (3), (1,2), (1,4), (3, 4), (1, 2, 3) and (1, 2, 3, 4).
How many OE-sequences are there in which the largest terms are at most 20?
