%N a(1)=1, a(2)=1. a(n) = the sum of the two largest earlier terms which are both coprime to n.

%C From _Robert Israel_, Jun 07 2018: (Start)

%C For n >= 4, a(n) = 2 if n is even.

%C For n >= 7, a(n) == 0 (mod 6) if n is odd.

%C For n >= 9, a(n) = 6 if n == 3 (mod 6). (End)

%H Robert Israel, <a href="/A122457/b122457.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000</a>

%e a(1)=1, a(2)=1, a(3)=2, a(4)=2, a(5)=4, a(6)=2, a(8)=2 are the terms which are coprime to 9 and which occur among {a(1),a(2)...a(8)}. 2 and 4 are the two largest of these terms, so a(9) = 2 + 4 = 6.
