Is this a permutation of the positive integers? Daniel Suteu's b-file suggests the answer is no, since powers of 2 >= 8 seem to be missing.
In fact Daniel Suteu points out that Eu and Liu (2008) prove that no Motzkin number is a multiple of 8.
Given any monotonically increasing sequence {b(n): n >= 1} of positive integers we can define a sequence {a(n): n >= 1} by setting a(n) to be smallest divisor of b(n) not already in the {a(n)} sequence. The triangular numbers A000217 produce A111273. A000027 is fixed under this transformation.
