The old definition was "Number of sums less than or equal to n of sequences of consecutive positive integers (including sequences of length 1)."

In other words, a(n) is also the total number of partitions of all positive integers <= n into consecutive parts, n >= 1. - Omar E. Pol, Dec 03 2020

Starting with 1 = row sums of triangle A168508. - Gary W. Adamson, Nov 27 2009

The subsequence of primes in this sequence begins, through a(100): 2, 5, 7, 11, 17, 19, 23, 29, 37, 43, 47, 73, 79, 173, 181, 223, 227, 229, 233, 263. - Jonathan Vos Post, Feb 13 2010

Apart from the initial zero, a(n) is also the total number of subparts of the symmetric representations of sigma of all positive integers <= n. Hence a(n) is also the total number of subparts in the terraces of the stepped pyramid with n levels described in A245092. For more information see A279387 and A237593. - Omar E. Pol, Dec 17 2016

a(n) is also the total number of partitions of all positive integers <= n into an odd number of equal parts. - Omar E. Pol, May 14 2017

Zero together with the row sums of A235791. - Omar E. Pol, Dec 18 2020

Harry J. Smith, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000

a(n) = Sum_{i=1..n} A001227(i).

a(n) = a(n-1) + A001227(n).

a(n) = n + floor(n/3) + floor(n/5) + floor(n/7) + floor(n/9) + ...

a(n) = A006218(n) - A006218(floor(n/2)).

a(n) = Sum_{i=1..ceiling(n/2)} A000005(n-i+1). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Sep 30 2013

a(n) = Sum_{i=floor((n+2)/2)..n} A000005(i). - N. J. A. Sloane, Dec 06 2020, modified by Xiaohan Zhang, Nov 07 2022

G.f.: (1/(1 - x))*Sum_{k>=1} x^k/(1 - x^(2*k)). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Dec 23 2016

a(n) ~ n*(log(2*n) + 2*gamma - 1) / 2, where gamma is the Euler-Mascheroni constant A001620. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jan 30 2019

E.g., for a(7), we consider the odd divisors of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, which gives 1,1,2,1,2,2,2 = 11. - Jon Perry, Mar 22 2004

Example illustrating the old definition: a(7) = 11 since 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 1+2, 2+3, 3+4, 1+2+3 are all 7 or less.

a(n) is also the total number of horizontal line segments in the first n levels of the diagram. For n = 5 there are seven horizontal line segments, so a(5) = 7. Cf. A237048, A286001. (End)

a(n) is also the number of regions in the diagram of the symmetries of sigma after n stages, including the subparts, as shown below (Cf. A279387):
