Comments

1, 2, 3, 4, ... first appear at n = 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, ... . a(500) = 318.

Numbers appearing only once: interleave 4+7*n, 6+7*n, 9+7*n = 4, 6, 9, 11, 13, 16, ... .

This is a nondecreasing sequence.

The ratio a(n)/n asymptotically tends to 7/11 = 0.6363... - Jean-François Alcover, Jul 21 2015

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,-1).

Formula

a(n+2) = a(n+1) + (0, 1, 0, followed by a sequence of period 11: repeat 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1).

a(n+12) = a(n+1) + (6, 7, 6, followed by 7's = A010727).

a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-11) - a(n-12) for n>15. - Colin Barker, Jan 22 2015
