%N a(n) is the smallest positive integer k not occurring earlier such that Möbius(k) == n (mod 3).

%C Permutation of the positive integers.

%C In other words, a(n) is the least positive unused integer such that Möbius(a(n)) is respectively 1, -1, 0, 1, -1, 0, 1, -1, 0, ... for n > 0.

%H Winston de Greef, <a href="/A350033/b350033.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000</a>

%e a(1) = 1 because 1 is the smallest positive integer with Möbius(1) = 1.

%e For a(2) we search for the smallest positive integer k not already in the sequence with Möbius(k) = -1. So, a(2) = 2.

%e Next, we search for Möbius(k) = 0 and a(3) = 6. We continue by asking for the smallest k such that Möbius(k) = 1, -1, 0, 1, -1, 0, ... and so on.
