Relative of Hofstadter Q-sequence: a(n) = n for 1 <= n <= 9; a(n) = a(n-a(n-1)) + a(n-a(n-2)) + a(n-a(n-3)) for n > 9.

COMMENTS
Similar to A278055 but with different starting values.
Much like the Hofstadter Q-sequence A005185, it is not known if this sequence is defined for all positive n.
a(n) exists for n <= 3*10^7.
MATHEMATICA
a[n_] := a[n] = If[0 < n < 10, n, a[n-a[n-1]] + a[n-a[n-2]] + a[n-a[n-3]]];
