%N Sequence (a(n)) generated by Rule 3 (in Comments) with a(1) = 1 and d(1) = 0.

%C Rule 3 follows. For k >= 1, let A(k) = {a(1), …, a(k)} and D(k) = {d(1), …, d(k)}. Begin with k = 1 and nonnegative integers a(1) and d(1).

%C Step 1: If there is an integer h such that 1 - a(k) < h < 0 and h is not in D(k) and a(k) + h is not in A(k), let d(k+1) be the least such h, let a(k+1) = a(k) + h, replace k by k + 1, and repeat Step 1; otherwise do Step 2.

%C Step 2: Let h be the least positive integer not in D(k) such that a(k) - h is not in A(k). Let a(k+1) = a(k) + h and d(k+1) = h. Replace k by k+1 and do Step 1.

%C See A257905 for a guide to related sequences and conjectures.
