This sequence and the Beatty Pi^2/6 sequence (A059535) are "incestuous": the first 20000 terms are bounded within (-9, 14). - Ed Pegg Jr, Jul 22 2008
Let us introduce a function D(n) = sigma_0(n)/2^(alpha(1) + ... + alpha(r)), sigma_0(n) number of divisors of n (A000005), prime factorization of n = p(1)^alpha(1) * ... * p(r)^alpha(r), alpha(1) + ... + alpha(r) is sequence (A001222). Function D(n) splits the set of positive integers into subsets, according to the value of D(n). Squarefree numbers (A005117) has D(n)=1, other numbers are "deviated" from the squarefree ideal and have 0 < D(n) < 1. For D(n)=1/2 we have A048109, for D(n)=3/4 we have A060687. - Ctibor O. Zizka, Sep 21 2008
Numbers k such that gcd(k,k')=1 where k' is the arithmetic derivative (A003415) of k. - Giorgio Balzarotti, Apr 23 2011
Numbers k such that A007913(k) = core(k) = k. - Franz Vrabec, Aug 27 2011
Numbers k such that sqrt(k) cannot be simplified. - Sean Loughran, Sep 04 2011
Indices m where A057918(m)=0, i.e., positive integers m for which there are no integers k in {1,2,...,m-1} such that k*m is a square. - John W. Layman, Sep 08 2011
It appears that these are numbers j such that Product_{k=1..j} (prime(k) mod j) = 0 (see Maple code). - Gary Detlefs, Dec 07 2011. - This is the same claim as Mohammed Bouayoun's Mar 30 2004 comment above. To see why it holds: Primorial numbers, A002110, a subsequence of this sequence, are never divisible by any nonsquarefree number, A013929, and on the other hand, the index of the greatest prime dividing any n is less than n. Cf. A243291. - Antti Karttunen, Jun 03 2014
Conjecture: For each n=2,3,... there are infinitely many integers b > a(n) such that Sum_{k=1..n} a(k)*b^(k-1) is prime, and the smallest such an integer b does not exceed (n+3)*(n+4). - Zhi-Wei Sun, Mar 26 2013
The probability that a random natural number belongs to the sequence is 6/Pi^2, A059956 (see Cesàro reference). - Giorgio Balzarotti, Nov 21 2013
Booker, Hiary, & Keating give a subexponential algorithm for testing membership in this sequence without factoring. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Jan 29 2014
Because in the factorizations into prime numbers these a(n) (n >= 2) have exponents which are either 0 or 1 one could call the a(n) 'numbers with a fermionic prime number decomposition'. The levels are the prime numbers prime(j), j >= 1, and the occupation numbers (exponents) e(j) are 0 or 1 (like in Pauli's exclusion principle). A 'fermionic state' is then denoted by a sequence with entries 0 or 1, where, except for the zero sequence, trailing zeros are omitted. The zero sequence stands for a(1) = 1. For example a(5) = 6 = 2^1*3^1 is denoted by the 'fermionic state' [1, 1], a(7) = 10 by [1, 0, 1]. Compare with 'fermionic partitions' counted in A000009. - Wolfdieter Lang, May 14 2014
From Vladimir Shevelev, Nov 20 2014: (Start)
The following is an Eratosthenes-type sieve for squarefree numbers. For integers > 1:
1) Remove even numbers, except for 2; the minimal non-removed number is 3.
2) Replace multiples of 3 removed in step 1, and remove multiples of 3 except for 3 itself; the minimal non-removed number is 5.
3) Replace multiples of 5 removed as a result of steps 1 and 2, and remove multiples of 5 except for 5 itself; the minimal non-removed number is 6.
4) Replace multiples of 6 removed as a result of steps 1, 2 and 3 and remove multiples of 6 except for 6 itself; the minimal non-removed number is 7.
5) Repeat using the last minimal non-removed number to sieve from the recovered multiples of previous steps.
Proof. We use induction. Suppose that as a result of the algorithm, we have found all squarefree numbers less than n and no other numbers. If n is squarefree, then the number of its proper divisors d > 1 is even (it is 2^k - 2, where k is the number of its prime divisors), and, by the algorithm, it remains in the sequence. Otherwise, n is removed, since the number of its squarefree divisors > 1 is odd (it is 2^k-1).
(End)
The lexicographically least sequence of integers > 1 such that each entry has an even number of proper divisors occurring in the sequence (that's the sieve restated). - Glen Whitney, Aug 30 2015
0 is nonsquarefree because it is divisible by any square. - Jon Perry, Nov 22 2014, edited by M. F. Hasler, Aug 13 2015
The Heinz numbers of partitions with distinct parts. We define the Heinz number of a partition p = [p_1, p_2, ..., p_r] as Product_{j=1..r} prime(j) (concept used by Alois P. Heinz in A215366 as an "encoding" of a partition). For example, for the partition [1, 1, 2, 4, 10] the Heinz number is 2*2*3*7*29 = 2436. The number 30 (= 2*3*5) is in the sequence because it is the Heinz number of the partition [1,2,3]. - Emeric Deutsch, May 21 2015
It is possible for 2 consecutive terms to be even; for example a(258)=422 and a(259)=426. - Thomas Ordowski, Jul 21 2015. [These form a subsequence of A077395 since their product is divisible by 4. - M. F. Hasler, Aug 13 2015]

Comment from Isaac Saffold, Dec 21 2021: (Start)
Numbers k such that all groups of order k have a trivial Frattini subgroup [Dummit and Foote].
Let the group G have order n. If n is squarefree and n > 1, then G is solvable, and thus by Hall's Theorem contains a subgroup H_p of index p for all p | n. Each H_p is maximal in G by order considerations, and the intersection of all the H_p's is trivial. Thus G's Frattini subgroup Phi(G), being the intersection of G's maximal subgroups, must be trivial. If n is not squarefree, the cyclic group of order n has a nontrivial Frattini subgroup. (End)
Numbers for which the squarefree divisors (A206778) and the unitary divisors (A077610) are the same; moreover they are also the set of divisors (A027750). - Bernard Schott, Nov 04 2022
0 = A008683(a(n)) - A008836(a(n)) = A001615(a(n)) - A000203(a(n)). - Torlach Rush, Feb 08 2023

Numbers n such that mu(n) != 0, where mu(n) is the Möbius function (A008683).
Solutions to the equation Sum_{d|n} mu(d)*sigma(d) = mu(n)*n, where sigma(n) is the sum of divisors function (A000203). (End)
a(n) is the smallest root of x = 1 + Sum_{k=1..n-1} floor(sqrt(x/a(k))) greater than a(n-1). - Yifan Xie, Jul 10 2024
Number k such that A001414(k) = A008472(k). - Torlach Rush, Apr 14 2025
To elaborate on the formula from Greathouse (2018), the maximum of a(n) - floor(n*Pi^2/6 + sqrt(n)/17) is 10 at indices n = 48715, 48716, 48721, and 48760. The maximum is 11, at the same indices, if floor is taken individually for the two addends and the square root. If the value is rounded instead, the maximum is 9 at 10 indices between 48714 and 48765. - M. F. Hasler, Aug 08 2025

Moebius inversion: f(n) = Sum_{d|n} g(d) for all n <=> g(n) = Sum_{d|n} mu(d)*f(n/d) for all n.
a(n) depends only on prime signature of n (cf. A025487). So a(24) = a(375) since 24 = 2^3 * 3 and 375 = 3 * 5^3 both have prime signature (3, 1).

Now the determinant of the Redheffer matrix is det(A_n) = M(n) where M(n) is the sum of mu(m) for 1 <= m <= n. Expanding det(A_n) along the bottom row, we see that det(A_n) = (-1)^n * det(C_{n-1}) + M(n-1). So we have det(B_n) = (-1)^n * det(C_{n-1}) = det(A_n) - M(n-1) = M(n) - M(n-1) = mu(n)." (End)
Conjecture: Consider the table A051731 and treat 1 as a divisor. Move the value in the lower right corner vertically to a divisor position in the transpose of the table and you will find that the determinant is the Moebius function. The number of permutation matrices that contribute to the Moebius function appears to be A074206. - Mats Granvik, Dec 08 2008

From Richard L. Ollerton, May 08 2021: (Start)
Formulas for the numerous OEIS entries involving the Möbius transform (Dirichlet convolution of a(n) and some sequence h(n)) can be derived using the following (n >= 1):
Sum_{d|n} mu(d)*h(n/d) = Sum_{k=1..n} h(gcd(n,k))*mu(n/gcd(n,k))/phi(n/gcd(n,k)) = Sum_{k=1..n} h(n/gcd(n,k))*mu(gcd(n,k))/phi(n/gcd(n,k)), where phi = A000010.
Use of gcd(n,k)*lcm(n,k) = n*k provides further variations. (End)
Formulas for products corresponding to the sums above are also available for sequences f(n) > 0: Product_{d|n} f(n/d)^mu(d) = Product_{k=1..n} f(gcd(n,k))^(mu(n/gcd(n,k))/phi(n/gcd(n,k))) = Product_{k=1..n} f(n/gcd(n,k))^(mu(gcd(n,k))/phi(n/gcd(n,k))). - Richard L. Ollerton, Nov 08 2021

Sometimes misnamed squareful numbers, but officially those are given by A001694.
This is different from the sequence of numbers k such that A007913(k) < phi(k). The two sequences differ at the values: 420, 660, 780, 840, 1320, 1560, 4620, 5460, 7140, ..., which is essentially A070237. - Ant King, Dec 16 2005

Appears to be numbers such that when a column with index equal to a(n) in A051731 is deleted, there is no impact on the result in the first column of A054525. - Mats Granvik, Feb 06 2009
Numbers k such that the number of prime divisors of (k+1) is less than the number of nonprime divisors of (k+1). - Juri-Stepan Gerasimov, Nov 10 2009
Orders for which at least one non-cyclic finite abelian group exists: A000688(a(n)) > 1. This follows from the fact that not all exponents in the prime factorization of a(n) are 1 (moebius(a(n)) = 0). The number of such groups of order a(n) is A192005(n) = A000688(a(n)) - 1. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 29 2011
Subsequence of A193166; A192280(a(n)) = 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Aug 26 2011

A057918(a(n)) > 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 27 2012
A056170(a(n)) > 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Dec 29 2012
Numbers k such that A001221(k) != A001222(k). - Felix Fröhlich, Aug 13 2014
Numbers k such that A001222(k) > A001221(k), since in this case at least one prime factor of k occurs more than once, which implies that k is divisible by at least one perfect square > 1. - Carlos Eduardo Olivieri, Aug 02 2015
Lexicographically least sequence such that each term has a positive even number of proper divisors not occurring in the sequence, cf. the sieve characterization of A005117. - Glen Whitney, Aug 30 2015
There are arbitrarily long runs of consecutive terms. Record runs start at 4, 8, 48, 242, ... (A045882). - Ivan Neretin, Nov 07 2015

Integers m where at least one k < m exists such that m divides k^m. - Richard R. Forberg, Jul 31 2021
Consider the Diophantine equation S(x,y) = (x+y) + (x-y) + (x*y) + (x/y) = z, when x and y are both positive integers with y | x. Then, there is a solution (x,y) iff z is a term of this sequence; in this case, if x = K*y, then z = S(K*y,y) = K*(y+1)^2 (see A351381, link and references Perelman); example: S(12,4) = 75 = a(28). The number of solutions for S(x,y) = a(n) is A353282(n). - Bernard Schott, Mar 29 2022
For each positive integer m, the number of unitary divisors of m = the number of squarefree divisors of m (see A034444); but only for the terms of this sequence does the set of unitary divisors differ from the set of squarefree divisors. Example: the set of unitary divisors of 20 is {1, 4, 5, 20}, while the set of squarefree divisors of 20 is {1, 2, 5, 10}. - Bernard Schott, Oct 15 2022

			For the terms up to 20, we compute the squares of primes up to floor(sqrt(20)) = 4. Those squares are 4 and 9. For every such square s, put the terms s*k^2 for k = 1 to floor(20 / s). This gives after sorting and removing duplicates the list 4, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 20. - _David A. Corneth_, Oct 25 2017

The Euler transform of a sequence q is the sequence of coefficients of x^n, n > 0, in the expansion of Product_{n > 0} 1/(1 - x^n)^q(n). The constant term 1 is sometimes taken to be the zeroth part of the Euler transform.

The sequence indicates about a possible bias (or lack of it) in the distribution of squarefree numbers among the numbers of the form 4k+1 vs. the numbers of the form 4k+3. See A293429 for another version.

The first negative term is a(1702) = -1.

After a(0)=1, each term a(n) is either (a) one more than its predecessor, in case 4n+1 and 4n+3 are both squarefree, (b) stays same if only the other one is squarefree, or (c) decreases by one if neither 4n+1 nor 4n+3 are squarefree.

The sequence indicates about a possible bias (or lack of it) in the distribution of squarefree numbers among the numbers of the form 4k-1 vs. the numbers of the form 4k+1. See A293229 for another version.

The first negative term is a(4014) = -1.

All code values arise corresponding to 8 classes of patterns. E.g., the first nonsquarefree triple (000 pattern, code=0) appears at 844, [845, 846, 847], 848 as a middle part of a nonsquarefree 5-tuple. Start values of code=7 triples are listed in A063238.

Conjecture 1: this is the number of binary sequences S of length n such that, for all primes p such that p^2 <= n, at least one of the p^2 linearly indexed subsequences of S with gap p^2 starting at the 1st, 2nd, ..., p^2-th position of S, is the all-zeros sequence. In other words, every block that is not explicitly ruled out by congruence conditions for the primes p with p^2 <= n should occur.

Conjecture 2: the last new block to actually occur is always 0^n (n copies of 0). Cf. A020754.
