Shortest addition chains</a>
%e A003064 a(7) = 29 because 29 is the smallest number with a shortest addition
chain requiring 7 additions. An example of a shortest addition chain
for 29 is (1 2 3 4 7 11 18 29).
%Y A003064 This is the "smallest inverse" of A003313. Cf. A003065.
%Y A003064 Cf. A075530, A115617 [Smallest number for which Knuth's power tree method
produces an addition chain of length n].
