A242921 Lexicographically least increasing sequence avoiding double 3-term arithmetic progressions. 3

%N Lexicographically least increasing sequence avoiding double 3-term arithmetic progressions.

%C a(0) = 0, a(1) = 1, and for n >= 2, a(n) is the least integer t > a(n-1) such that for all 0 < i <= n/2 we have a(n-2i)+t <> 2a(n-i).

%C By double arithmetic sequence it is meant that both the indices and the values are in arithmetic progression.

%H Alois P. Heinz, <a href="/A242921/b242921.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..10000</a>

%H T. Brown, V. Jungic, and A. Poelstra, <a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1304.1829">On double 3-term arithmetic progressions</a>, arxiv preprint, November 2013.

%e a(8) = 15: 12 is not in the sequence because a(6) = 10, a(7) = 11; 13 is not in the sequence because a(4) = 7, a(6) = 10; 14 is not in the sequence because a(0) = 0, a(4) = 7, so a(8) = 15.

%p a:= proc(n) option remember; local i, t, ok;

%p if n<2 then n

%p else for t from 1+a(n-1) do ok:=true;

%p for i to n/2 while ok

%p do ok:=a(n-2*i)+t <> 2*a(n-i) od;

%p if ok then return t fi

%Y Differs from A094870 in that sequence must be increasing.
