COMMENTS
a(1)=1, a(2)=19; a(n) is least k such that no three terms of a(1), a(2), ..., a(n-1), k form an arithmetic progression.
FORMULA
a(n) = (Sum_{k=1..n-1} (3^A007814(k) + 1)/2) + f(n), with f(n) a 16-periodic function with values {1, 18, 17, 18, 14, 18, 17, 19, 5, 18, 17, 18, 14, 19, 19, 19, ...}, as proved by Lawrence Sze.
