[seqfan] Re: Is this sequence a permutation of positive integers?

[W. Edwin Clark]

I calculated the first 1000 terms and 5 is the smallest positive integer
not appearing. Among the 1000 terms calculated the positive integers not
appearing are:
 5,7,9,10,14,17,20,22,27,30,33,36,39,41,42,44,46,47,50,51,54,55,56,58,59,60,64,65,66,68,69,70,72,74,75,79,82,84,86,87,90,95,96,97,98,99

Also in the interval a(100) to a(1000) there are no entries less than 100.
