a(2)=12 because we can write 12 = 11 * 1 + 1.

a(3)=26 because we can write 26 = 12 * 2 + 2.

a(4)=79 because we can write 79 = 26 * 3 + 1.

a(5)=81 because we can write 81 = 79 * 1 + 2.

a(6)=163 because we can write 163 = 81 * 2 + 1.

a(7)=491 because we can write 491 = 163 * 3 + 2.

a(8)=492 because we can write 492 = 491 * 1 + 1.

a(9)=986 because we can write 986 = 492 * 2 + 2.
