COMMENTS
The steps of 2 occur when the corresponding integer is not in A286291 because it already occurred in A286290 [numbers of the form m(m+1) (m & m+1 not occurring earlier) or (m-1)(m+1) with m occurring earlier]. Accordingly, the present sequence equals first differences of A286290, minus 2. - M. F. Hasler, May 23 2017

From M. F. Hasler, May 23 2017: (Start)
Another approach:
A286290 = 1, 6, 12, 20, 35, 56, 72, 90, 110, 143, 182, 210, 240, 272, 306, 342, ...
1st Diff.: 5, 6, 8, 15, 21, 16, 18, 20, 33, 39, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, ...
minus 2 = 3, 4, 6, 13, 19, 14, 16, 18, 31, 37, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, ... (this sequence). (End)
