FORMULA
|
a(0) = 0; a(1) = 3; for n > 1, let k = A255131(a(n-1)). If k+1 is not a square, then a(n) = k, otherwise a(n) = A000290(2+A000196(k+1)) - 1.

EXAMPLE
|
This can be viewed as an irregular table, where after 0, each row has A260734(n) = 1, 2, 2, 4, 4, 5, 5, 7, ... terms:
0;
3;
8, 6;
15, 11;
24, 21, 18, 16;
35, 32, 30, 27;
48, 45, 43, 40, 38;
63, 59, 56, 53, 51;
80, 78, 75, 72, 70, 67, 64;
99, 96, 93, 90, 88, 85, 83;
120, 117, 115, 112, 108, 105, 102;
...
Each row begins with (n^2)-1 (see A005563), and each successive term is obtained by subtracting A002828(k) from the previous term k, until ((n-1)^2)-1 would be encountered, which is not listed second time (as it already occurs as the first term of the previous row), but instead, the current row is finished and the next row is started with the term ((n+1)^2)-1.
