%N A067686 a(n) = a(n-1) * a(n-1) - B * a(n-1) + B, a(0) = 1 + B for B = 7.
%C A067686 This is the special case k=7 of sequences with exact mutual k-residues. In general, a(1)=k+1 and a(n)=min{m | m>a(n-1), mod(m,a(i))=k, i=1,...,n-1}. k=1 gives Sylvester's sequence A000058 and k=2 Fermat sequence A000215. - _Seppo Mustonen_, Sep 04 2005
