%N Start of first run of length n in Golomb's sequence A001462.

%C The first run of length n in A001462 begins with A095114(n), i.e., A001462(a(n)) = A095114(n).

%C a(n) = A095114(A095114(n)).

%F a(1) = 1; a(n+1) = a(n) + A001462(n)*n.

%e Since Golomb's sequence starts 1,2,2,3,3,4,4,4,5,... the first run of length three starts at position 6, so a(3) = 6.

%t a[1] = 1; a[n_] := a[n] = 1 + a[n - a[a[n - 1]]]; s = Array[a, {13000}]; t = Most@ Map[Last, Tally@ s]; Table[Total@ Take[t, First@ Flatten@ Position[t, n]] - n + 1, {n, 50}] (* _Michael De Vlieger_, Oct 07 2015, after _Robert G. Wilson v_ at A001462 *)

%o (PARI) a(n) = if (n<2, 1, a(n-1)+ t(n-1)*(n-1));

%o t(n) = local(A, t, i); if(n<3, max(0, n), A=vector(n); t=A[i=2]=2; for(k=3, n, A[k]=A[k-1]+if(t--==0, t=A[i++ ]; 1)); A[n]);
