Table of n, a(n) for n=0..12.

Index to sequences related to the complexity of n

Example

a(1) = 3: 3 can be written as 2+1, requiring 1 operation
a(2) = 5: 5 = (2+1)+2, the lowest number requiring 2 operations
a(3) = 7: ((2+2)+1)+2, the lowest number requiring 3 operations
a(4) = 13: (2+1)*3+2+2 (Note: 3 = 2+1 reused)
a(5) = 41: (2+1)*2*6+3+2 (3 = 2+1 reused, 6 = 3*2 reused)
a(6) = 113: ((2+1)*3+3+1)*9-4
a(7) = 311: ((2+1)*3*3+1)*(9+2)+3
a(8) = 1821: (2+(2+1))*(3+(2+2)*4)*19+16
a(9) = 10267: (1+(2+(2+1))*(3*3))*(5*45-2)+9
a(10) = 74587: (2+1)*(((2*(3*3)*9-2)-3)*157+160)+160
