A325462 a(n) is the least number not 2*a(m) or 3*a(m)-1 for any m < n.
1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 19, 21, 22, 23, 25, 27, 28, 29, 31, 33, 36, 37, 39, 40, 41, 43, 45, 48, 49, 51, 52, 53, 55, 57, 59, 60, 61, 63, 64, 67, 69, 70, 71, 73, 75, 76, 77, 79, 81, 84, 85, 87, 88, 89, 91, 93, 94, 95, 97, 99, 100, 101, 103, 105

Examples
The sequence necessarily starts with 1. The next 2 terms are determined as follows: because a(1) = 1, the number 2 is disallowed, so that a(2) = 3, whence the numbers 6 and 8 are disallowed, and a(3) = 4. See A325417 for a guide to related sequences.
