COMMENT

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,...

EXAMPLE

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.
