Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

Form an array with 3 rows: row 1 begins with 1; all rows are increasing; each entry is sum of 2 entries above it; each number appears at most once; smallest unused number is appended to first row if possible. Sequence gives row 1.
