%N A122554 Let S(1)={1} and, for n>1 let S(n) be the smallest set containing x, 
               2x and x+2 for each element x in S(n-1). a(n) is the number of elements 
               in S(n).
%C A122554 If the set mapping has x -> x,2x,x^2 is used instead of x -> x,x+2,2x, 
               the corresponding sequence consists of the Fibonacci numbers 1,2,
               3,5,8,...
%C A122554 Apparently a(n)= 3*a(n-1) -2*a(n-2) -a(n-3) +a(n-4) for n>6, equivalent 
               to a(n)=A000032(n)+n-1 for n>2. [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.n),

%e A122554 Under the indicated set mapping we have {1} -> {1,2,3} -> {1,2,3,4,5,
               6} -> {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10,12},..., so a(2)=3, a(3)=6, a(4)=10, etc.
