The cost of a request equals the position of the requested element in the list.

After a request, the requested element is transposed with the immediately preceding element (unless the requested element is already at the front of the list).

			For n=931 (the smallest n for which A374992(n), A374994(n), A374995(n), and a(n) are all distinct), the 931st composition is (1, 1, 2, 4, 1, 1), giving the following development of the list:

The sum of a(j) over all j such that A000120(j) = k (number of requests) and A333766(j) <= m (upper bound on the requested elements) equals m^k * k * (m+1)/2.

The cost of a request equals the position of the requested element in the list.

After a request, the requested element is moved so that the list is kept ordered by decreasing number of requests so far. In case of ties, the most recently requested element is placed before all other elements with the same number of requests.

			For n=931 (the smallest n for which A374992(n), A374993(n), A374995(n), and a(n) are all distinct), the 931st composition is (1, 1, 2, 4, 1, 1), giving the following development of the list:
