COMMENTS
A self-referencing Fibonacci sequence. The terms appear to be concentrated along two lines, a lower straight line where a(n) is approximately n and an upper curved line where a(n) ~ n^2/4.
The missing numbers are 1, 2, 5, 8, 10, 13, 15, 18, 20, 22, 25, 27, 29, 31, ... .

EXAMPLE
a(1) = 3 as a(3) = 7 and a(3-1) + a(3-2) = 4 + 3 = 7.
