COMMENTS
Reinhard Zumkeller conjectures (at A102730) that this sequence is finite. I conjecture the contrary, that a(n) exists for every n. Further, I expect a(n) << n^n. [Charles R Greathouse IV, Aug 21 2011]
EXAMPLE
a(6) = 5: A102730(5) = #{0,1,2,3,4,5} = 6;
a(7) = 8: A102730(8) = #{0,1,2,3,4,7,8} = 7;
a(8) = 23: A102730(23) = #{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,23} = 8;
a(9) = 117: A102730(117) = #{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,117} = 9;
a(10) = 155: A102730(155) = #{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,155} = 10.
