A138153 If the numbers a(1)...a(n) contain a hole, then a(n+1) is the smallest hole; otherwise a(n+1) = a(n-2) + a(n-1) + a(n). 2

%N If the numbers a(1)...a(n) contain a hole, then a(n+1) is the smallest hole; otherwise a(n+1) = a(n-2) + a(n-1) + a(n).

%C This is to A060000 as tribonacci A000073 is to Fibonacci A000045. Let H be the set of positive numbers less than a(n) which are not equal to some a(i), i < n. This H is the 'set of holes so far'. If H is nonempty, then define a(n+1) = minimum(H). Otherwise define a(n+1) = a(n-2) + a(n-1) + a(n). Permutation of the natural numbers with inverse not yet in the OEIS.
