COMMENT

A085059 is the smallest positive sequence such that the first order absolute difference is {1,2,3,4,...}. Other related sequences may be found by searching for the words "absolute difference" with the "Lookup" facility.

EXAMPLE

For the initial terms, no smaller positive terms work than

Sequence {a(n)}: 1,1,2,5,5,1,10,7,17,15,4,3,...

First absolute difference: 0,1,3,0,4,9,3,10,2,11,1,...

Second absolute difference: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,...

CROSSREFS
