Comments

Sequence is a permutation of the positive integers and it is its own inverse permutation.

From Antti Karttunen, Nov 05 2016: (Start)

A016945 gives the positions of even terms.

A007310 is closed with respect to this permutation. See A277911 for the permutation induced.

A029744 (without 3) seems to give the positions of records in this sequence (note that it gives the record positions in related A003961 and A048673) which implies that A083658 (without its term 5) would then give the record values.

Formula

From Antti Karttunen, Nov 05 2016: (Start)

a(1) = 1; and for n > 1, if n = a(k) for some k = 1 .. n-1, then a(n) = A064989(n), otherwise a(n) = A003961(n). [After the original definition and R. J. Mathar's Maple-code]

a(1) = 1, and for n > 1, if A055396(n) is odd, a(n) = A003961(n), otherwise a(n) = A064989(n). [The above reduces to this.]

a(n) = product{k>=1} prime(k-((-1)^A055396(n)))^e(k) when n = product{k>=1} prime(k)^e(k).

a(2n) = A249734(n) and a(A249734(n)) = 2n.

A126760(a(A007310(n))) = A277911(n).

For n > 1, A055396(a(n)) = A055396(n) - (-1)^A055396(n). [Permutation sends the terms on any odd row of A246278 to the next even row just below, and vice versa.]

A246277(a(n)) = A246277(n). [While keeping them in the same column.]

a(n) = A064989(A064989(a(A003961(A003961(n))))).
