%N Smallest k such that A261029(k) = n.

%C Theorem. For every n>=0, a(n) exists.

%C Are all terms from a(4)=108 onward divisible by 9?

%C a(139) = 12006176 is not divisible by 9. - _Chai Wah Wu_, Aug 25 2015

%F A261029(a(n)) = n.

%F For n>=1, a(n) <= 8^(n-1).

%e By condition z>=x+1>=1. By induction one can prove that F(x,y,z)>=3*z-2 (cf.[Shevelev]).

%e Since F>=1, then A261029(0)=0 and a(0)=0;

%e Further,

%e 0 0 1 1

%e 0 1 1 2

%e Since F(x,y,2)>=4>1, A261029(1)=1 and a(1)=1.
