A sequence

)

of m terms is called an OE-sequence if the following two

conditions are satisfied:

a.

for any positive integer 1

b.

all the odd numbered terms

numbered terms

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?
