%N Least inverse of A048182.

%C Also a(n) is the smallest integer that cannot be obtained by using the number 1 at most n+1 times and the operators +, -, *, /. - Koksal Karakus (karakusk(AT)hotmail.com), May 27 2002

%H Juris Cernenoks, Janis Iraids, Martins Opmanis, Rihards Opmanis, and Karlis Podnieks, <a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1409.0446">Integer Complexity: Experimental and Analytical Results II</a>, arxiv:1409.0446 [math.NT], 2014; see Table 2.

%e a(4)=7 because by using the number 1 at most five times we can write 1=1, 1+1=2, 1+1+1=3, 1+1+1+1+1=5, (1+1)*(1+1+1)=6 but we cannot obtain 7 in the same way.
