Useful for computing A232749.
FORMULA
a(1)=0, and for n>1, a(n) = A232748(n-1) + (1-(A232746(n)-A232746(n-1))).
MATHEMATICA
nmax = 100; A5228 = {1}; Module[{d = 2, k = 1}, Do[While[MemberQ[A5228, d], d++]; k += d; d++; AppendTo[A5228, k], {n, 1, nmax}]];
a46[n_] := For[k = 1, True, k++, If[A5228[[k]] > n, Return[k-1]]];
a[n_] := a[n] = If[n == 1, 0, a[n-1] + (1 - (a46[n] - a46[n-1]))];
