%N Irregular triangle read by rows: row n gives lexicographically first addition chain of minimal length for n.
%C The addition chains in this sequence for 1, 2, 3, 7 start respectively with 1, 1,2, 1,2,3, and 1,2,3,4. Are there minimal addition chains starting 1,2,3,4,5? 1,2,...,n for larger n?
%C Needs a b-file.
%e The table starts:
%e 1
%e 1 2
%e 1 2 3
%e 1 2 4
%e 1 2 3 5
%e 1 2 3 6
%e 1 2 3 4 7
%e 1 2 4 8
%e ...
%Y Cf. A265690 (row lengths), A265692 (largest).
