Going either upward or downward with the argument, the greatest prime factors are increasing for a while. %e A102640 For n = 12: 2^10 = 4096. The greatest prime factors of 4096, 4097, 4098, 4099 are as follows: {2, 241, 683, 4099}. A006530(4100) = 41 is already smaller than A006530(4099). Thus the length of increasing GPF sequence is 4 = a(12). %t A102640 With[{nn = 12}, Table[Function[k, 1 + LengthWhile[#, # > 0 &] &@ Differences@ Array[FactorInteger[#][[-1, 1]] &, nn, k]][2^n], {n, 105}]] (* _Michael De Vlieger_, Jul 24 2017 *) %Y A102640 Cf.
