A072134 Second generation sequence in which each number is skipped that can be written as sum of distinct previous entries. To make the first generation we start with all natural numbers: this gives the powers of 2 (A000079). For the second generation we start with the natural numbers from which are removed the numbers of the first generation.

Examples
4 is not in the sequence because it is in A000079. 14 is not in the sequence because 14 = 3+5+6.
Formula
a_n is the union of {3, 6}; the numbers {v_n} where v_0 = 5, v_n=3*v_{n-1}+2; and the numbers u_n = 2 + v_n.
Conjectures from Colin Barker, Sep 09 2017: (Start)
G.f.: (3 + 8*x + 2*x^2 - 11*x^3 - 9*x^4 - 3*x^5) / ((1 + x)*(1 - 3*x^2)).
a(n) = -(-1)^n + 3^((n-1)/2)*(1-(-1)^n + sqrt(3) + (-1)^n*sqrt(3)) for n>2.
a(n) = -a(n-1) + 3*a(n-2) + 3*a(n-3) for n>5.
