a(0) = 0; thereafter a(n) is the least integer (in absolute value) not yet in the sequence such that the absolute difference of a(n-1) and a(n) is a square; in case of a tie, preference is given to the positive value.

Recamán's sequence (or Recaman's sequence): a(0) = 0; for n > 0, a(n) = a(n-1) - n if nonnegative and not already in the sequence, otherwise a(n) = a(n-1) + n.

A version of the array A229607 without duplicates, read by antidiagonals: each row starts with the least prime not in a previous row, and each number p in a row is followed by the greatest prime q in the interval p < q < 2*p not in a previous row (or 0 if no such q exists).
