Define a triple of sequences A,B,C by A[0]=1, B[0]=2, C[0]=3; for n>=1, A[n] = smallest missing number from the terms of A,B,C defined so far; B[n] = = smallest missing number from the terms of A,B,C defined so far; C[n] = n+A[n]+B[n].
FORMULA
Conjectures from Colin Barker, Nov 08 2019: (Start)
G.f.: (3 + 7*x + 5*x^2 + 5*x^3 + 7*x^4 + 5*x^5 + 7*x^6 + 5*x^7 + 7*x^8 + 5*x^9 + 5*x^10 + 7*x^11 + 2*x^12 - 2*x^20 + 2*x^21) / (1 - x - x^12 + x^13).
a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-12) - a(n-13) for n>21.
