a(1)=1. Given a(1),...,a(n-1), to find a(n), let S = {a(1), ..., a(n-1), |a(2)-a(1)|, ..., |a(n-1)-a(n-2)|}. Let d be the smallest positive integer not in S. Then a(n) is the smallest one of a(n-1)-d and a(n-1)+d which is a positive integer not in S union {d}.

EXAMPLE
|
For n=5, S={1,3,7,12, 2,4,5} so d=6. a(4)-d=6 is in S union {6}, so we have a(5)=a(4)+d=18.
a(28) does not exist: d=43, but both a(28)-43=11 and a(28)+43=97 are in S union {43}.
