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

[Ali Sada]

 Thanks to Allan'sencouragement, as always, I added the sequence to the OEIS. It's now A364054. Ihave put A006509 and A125717 as Cf. based on Fred's and Hugo's excellentobservations. I also added a couple of comments from W. Edwin Clark's email.
Best,

Ali

 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.

Hi everyone,
a(1) = 1, for n > 1, a(n) is the least positive integer, not already in the sequence, that satisfies the following condition: a(n) mod p(n-1) = a(n-1) mod p(n-1).
p(1) = 2, a(1) = 1, a(1) mod 2 =1, so a(2) = 3 because 3 mod 2 =1.p(2) = 3, a(2) mod 3 = 0, and the least positive integer that's mod 3= 0 is 6, so a(3) =6.p(3) =5, a(3) mod (5) =1, so a(4) =11, and so on.
Will all positive integers appear in this sequence? Also, is it good for the OEIS?
