If A1 dribbles, muffs, then starts dribbling again without actually picking it up, there's nothing. If you felt the battting of either hand was under control rather than trying and failing to get the ball, you could have the violation.

Try again. If A1 dribbles, muffs, then starts dribbling again, it's a double dribble. The muff ended the dribble when both hands touched the ball or the ball came to rest in one hand (even briefly). Otherwise, you don't have a muff but just the continuation of the original dribble.
