A113963 a(1)=1; for n>1, a(n) is the smallest positive integer not occurring earlier in the sequence where |a(n)-a(n-1)| does not divide (a(n)+a(n-1)). 6

EXAMPLE
Among those positive integers not among the first 4 integers of the sequence, a(5) = 5 is the lowest such that |a(5)-a(4)| = |5-2| = 3 does not divide (a(5)+a(4)) = 5+2 = 7. 3, for example, is not among the first 4 terms of the sequence, but |3-2| = 1 does indeed divide (3+2). So a(5) is not 3, but is instead 5.
