%N Lexicographically earliest strictly increasing sequence of positive integers whose Recamán transform has only distinct values.

%C The Recamán transform of a sequence {b(n), n>0} is the sequence {r(n), n>=0} defined as follows: r(0) = 0; for n > 0, r(n) = r(n-1) - b(n) if nonnegative and not already in the sequence, otherwise r(n) = r(n-1) + b(n).

%C This sequence has large runs of consecutive terms.

%C The Recamán transform of this sequence, say r, first differ from A064388 for n = 123: r(123) = 19 whereas A064388(123) = 300.
