Examples
The first few stages in the calculation are as follows: S = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 ... n = 2, p = 3, so a(2) is the 2nd term of S, which is 2. Now S = 1 2 2 3 4 4 5 6 6 7 8 8 9 10 10 11 12 12 13 14 14 ... n = 3, p = 5, so a(3) is the 4th term of S, which is 3. Now S = 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 6 6 6 7 8 8 9 9 10 10 11 12 12 12 13 14 14 ... n = 4, p = 7, so a(4) is the 6th term of S, which is 4. Now S = 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 4 5 6 6 6 7 8 8 8 9 9 10 10 11 12 12 12 12 13 14 14 ... n = 5, p = 11, so a(5) is the 10th term of S, which is 6. And so on.

Formula
A plot of the extended sequence suggests that a(n) ~= c n log(log(n)) + d n for constants c and d. For example, run: $ gnuplot> plot [] [1.27:1.35] a142727.txt using 1:4, 1.12+0.076*log(log(x)).
