Relative of Hofstadter Q-sequence: a(n) = max(0, n+20830) for n <= 0; a(n) = a(n-a(n-1)) + a(n-a(n-2)) + a(n-a(n-3)) for n > 0.

COMMENTS

Sequences like this are more naturally considered with the first nonzero term in position 1. But this sequence would then match A000027 for its first 20830 terms.
Most terms in this sequence appear in one of two long patterns of 16 interleaved sequences. The first stretches from a(64180) through a(9029945). The second stretches from a(9029971) through a(-20830 + 84975*2^560362).
This sequence has exactly -20799 + 84975*2^560362 terms (of positive index). a(-20799 + 84975*2^560362) = 0, so an attempt to calculate a(-20798 + 84975*2^560362) would refer to itself.

FORMULA

If the index is between 67 and 20831 (inclusive), then a(7n) = 7n+2, a(7n+1) = 7n+20832, a(7n+2) = 7n+20834, a(7n+3) = 7, a(7n+4) = 2n+41705, a(7n+5) = n+41653, a(7n+6) = 20828.
