FORMULA
With b(m) = A005117(m), m >= 2, this is the sequence of the increasingly ordered members of the set {b(m): b(m) = (b(m-1)+ b(m+1))/2}. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 25 2014
EXAMPLE
2 is in this sequence because it is squarefree and the average of the previous squarefree number 1 and the following squarefree number 3.
