COMMENTS

To construct the sequence use the rule : a(1)=3, then a(a(1)+a(2)+...+a(n)+1)=2+(-1)^n and fill in any undefined place with 2.

FORMULA

a(n) = (1/2) * (1+A004200(n+1)).

a(a(1)+a(2)+...+a(n)+1) = 2+(-1)^n.

EXAMPLE

Example to illustrate the comment : a(a(1)+1) = a(4) = 2+(-1)^1 = 1 and a(2), a(3) are undefined. The rule forces a(2) = a(3) = 2.
