A325425 a(n) is the least number not 2*a(m) or floor(3*a(m)/2) for any m < n.

Comments

The sequence necessarily starts with 1. The next 2 terms are determined as follows: because a(1) = 1, the number 2 is disallowed, so that a(2) = 3, whence the numbers 4 and 6 are disallowed, and a(3) = 5. See A325417 for a guide to related sequences.
