Sequence: "if n appears then a*n+b doesn't"

[zak seidov]

Dear seqfans,
I'm going to submit A121538.
1. Is it any general formula for a(n)?
2. First differences d(n) are:

1,2,2,1,1,2,1,1,2,2,2,1,1,2,2,2,1,1,2,1,1,2,1,1,2,2,2,1,1,2,1,1,2,1,1,2,2,2,1,1,2,2,2,1,1,2,2,2,1,1,2,1,1,2,1,1,2,2,2,1,1,2,2,2,1,1,2,2,2,1,1,2,1,1,2,1,1,2,2,2,1,1,2,1,1,2,1,1,2,2,2,1,1,2,1,1,2,1,1,2,2,2,1,1,2,2,2,1,1,2,2,2,1,1,2,1,1,2,1,1,2,2,2,1,1,2,1,1,2,1,1,2,2,...

some patterns are vaguely appearing...
Any general formula for d(n)?
Thanks, Zak
