%N a(n) is the least number not 2a(m) + a(m-1) for any m < n.

%C Conjectures: Let d(n) = 3a(n) - 4n; then d(n) is bounded, and d(n) = 0 for infinitely many n.

%e Necessarily, a(1) = 1 and a(2) = 2. Because of these values, 5 is the least number not in the sequence, so that a(3) = 3 and a(4) = 4. Consequently, 8 and 11 are disallowed, so a(5) = 6 and a(6) = 7.

%t mex[list_, start_] := (NestWhile[# + 1 &, start, MemberQ[list, #] &]); a = {1}; Do[AppendTo[a, mex[Rest[2 a] + Most[a], Last[a] + 1]], {60}]; a (* A325597 *)

%t c = Complement[Range[Last[a]], a] (* A325598 *)

%t da = Differences[a] (* A325599 *)

%t Flatten[Position[da, 1]] (* A325600 *)

%t Flatten[Position[da, 2]] (* A325601 *)
