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”).

a(n) is smallest positive integer not among the earlier terms of the sequence, not equal to n and which is coprime to its adjacent terms in the sequence.

%N a(n) is smallest positive integer not among the earlier terms of the sequence, not equal to n and which is coprime to its adjacent terms in the sequence.

%C Sequence is a permutation of the positive integers. (Inverse permutation is sequence A114862.)

%e a(8) = 11 since 11 is the smallest positive integer not among the first 7 terms of the sequence, not equal to 8 and which is coprime to a(7) = 6.
