Given any number it is easy to find a rule based on a polynomial of order 5 such that the first five numbers are as listed in the question and the next is the given number. There are also non-polynomial solutions.

The simplest polynomial solution, of order 4, is

Un = (-n4 + 10n3 - 11n2 - 142n + 456)/24 for n = 1, 2, 3, ...

and accordingly, the next in the sequence is U6 = 3.

What is the rule for this sequence 3 4 6 9 13 18?

The rule for this sequence appears to be adding consecutive prime numbers. The sequence starts with 3, then adds the next prime number 2 to get 4. It then adds 3 (the next prime number) to 4 to get 7, then 5 to 7 to get 12, and so on. Each number in the sequence is the sum of the previous number and the next prime number in order.
