Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A225387
Construct sequences P,Q,R by the rules: Q = first differences of P, R = second differences of P, P starts with 1,3,9, Q starts with 2,6, R starts with 4; at each stage the smallest number not yet present in P,Q,R is appended to R. Sequence gives R.

COMMENTS
In contrast to A225376-A225378, here it is not required (and not true) that each number should appear just once in P union Q union R. On the other hand, again in contrast to A225376-A225378, here it is obvious that P, Q, R are infinite.
The first three numbers that are repeated are 284, 2074, 3500, which appear in both P and Q. There may be no others. Of course R is disjoint from P and Q, by definition.
