COMMENT

An Ulam-type sequence - see A002858 for many further references, comments, etc.

A plot of the first 10^6 terms shows a nearly straight line having a slope of about 11.1. In contrast to A002858, this sequence has many consecutive numbers; of the first 10^6 terms, consecutive numbers appear 141674 times! - T. D. Noe, Jan 21 2008
