a(A003961(n)) = n for all n. [This is a left inverse function for the injection A003961.]
Bisections are A064216 (the terms at odd indices) and A064989 itself (the terms at even indices), i.e., a(2n) = a(n) for all n.
(End)
From Antti Karttunen, Dec 18-21 2014: (Start)
When n represents an unordered integer partition via the indices of primes present in its prime factorization (for n >= 2, n corresponds to the partition given as the n-th row of A112798) this operation subtracts one from each part. If n is of the form 2^k (a partition having just k 1's as its parts) the result is an empty partition (which is encoded by 1, having an "empty" factorization).
For all odd numbers n >= 3, a(n) tells which number is located immediately above n in square array A246278. Cf. also A246277.
(End)
Alternatively, if numbers are represented as the multiset of indices of prime factors with multiplicity, this operation subtracts 1 from each element and discards the 0's. - M. F. Hasler, Dec 29 2014

If n = product A000040(k)^e(k) then a(n) = product A008578(k)^e(k) [where A000040(n) gives the n-th prime, and A008578(n) gives 1 for 1 and otherwise the (n-1)-th prime].
a(1) = 1; for n > 1, a(n) = A008578(A055396(n)) * a(A032742(n)). [Above formula represented as a recurrence. Cf. A252461.]
a(1) = 1; for n > 1, a(n) = A008578(A061395(n)) * a(A052126(n)). [Compare to the formula of A252462.]
This prime-shift operation is used in the definitions of many other sequences, thus it can be expressed in many alternative ways:
a(n) = A200746(n) / n.
a(n) = A242424(n) / A105560(n).
a(n) = A122111(A122111(n)/A105560(n)) = A122111(A052126(A122111(n))). [In A112798-partition context: conjugate, remove the largest part (the largest prime factor), and conjugate again.]
a(1) = 1; for n > 1, a(2n) = a(n), a(2n+1) = A163511((A243071(2n+1)-1) / 2).
a(n) = A249818(A250470(A249817(n))). [A250470 is an analogous operation for "going one step up" in the square array A083221 (A083140).]

a((A003961(n) + 1) / 2) = n and A003961(a(n)) = 2*n - 1 for all n. If the sequence is indexed by odd numbers only, it becomes multiplicative. In this variant sequence, denoted b, even indices don't exist, and we get b(1) = a(1) = 1, b(3) = a(2) = 2, b(5) = 3, b(7) = 5, b(9) = 4 = b(3) * b(3), ... , b(15) = 6 = b(3) * b(5), and so on. This property can also be stated as: a(x) * a(y) = a(((2x - 1) * (2y - 1) + 1) / 2) for x, y > 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller [re-expressed by Peter Munn, May 23 2020]
Not multiplicative in usual sense - but letting m=2n-1=product_j (p_j)^(e_j) then a(n)=a((m+1)/2)=product_j (p_(j-1))^(e_j). - Henry Bottomley, Apr 15 2005
From Antti Karttunen, Jul 25 2016: (Start)
Several permutations that use prime shift operation A064989 in their definition yield a permutation obtained from their odd bisection when composed with this permutation from the right. For example, we have:
A243505(n) = A122111(a(n)).
A243065(n) = A241909(a(n)).
A244153(n) = A156552(a(n)).

			For n=11, the 11th odd number is 2*11 - 1 = 21 = 3^1 * 7^1. Replacing the primes 3 and 7 with the previous primes 2 and 5 gives 2^1 * 5^1 = 10, so a(11) = 10. - _Michael B. Porter_, Jul 25 2016

Numbers n such that A003961(n) > 2*n.
Numbers n such that A048673(n) > n.
The sequence grows as:
        a(10) = 18
       a(100) = 192
      a(1000) = 1830
     a(10000) = 18636
    a(100000) = 187350
   a(1000000) = 1865226
  a(10000000) = 18654333
and the powers of 10 occur at:
        a(5) = 10
       a(53) = 100
      a(536) = 1000
     a(5423) = 10000
    a(53290) = 100000
   a(535797) = 1000000
  a(5361886) = 10000000
suggesting that the ratio a(n)/n is converging to an constant and an arbitrary natural number is slightly more likely to be in this sequence than in the complement A246281. See also comments at A246351 and compare to quite a different ratio present in the "inverse" case A246362.
From Antti Karttunen, Aug 27 2020: (Start)
Any perfect number, including all odd perfect numbers (if such numbers exist), must occur in this sequence. See A286385 and A326042 for the reason why.
Like abundancy index (ratio A000203(n)/n), also ratio A003961(n)/n is multiplicative and always > 1 for all n > 1. Thus if the number has a proper divisor that is in this sequence, then the number itself also is. See A337372 for terms included here, but with no proper divisor in this sequence. (End)

Numbers n such that A064216(n) <= n.
Numbers n such that A064989(2n-1) <= n.
The sequence grows as:
      a(100) = 332
     a(1000) = 3207
    a(10000) = 34213
   a(100000) = 340703
  a(1000000) = 3388490
suggesting that overall, less than one third of natural numbers appear in this sequence, and more than two thirds in the complement, A246362. See also comments in the latter.

Iterates of A048673 starting from value 12.
All numbers 1 .. 11 are in finite cycles of A048673/A064216, thus 12 is the smallest number in this cycle, regardless of whether the cycle is infinite or finite.
This sequence soon reaches much larger values than the corresponding A246343 (iterating the same cycle in the other direction). However, with the corresponding sequences starting from 16 (A246344 & A246345), there is no such pronounced difference, and with them the bias is actually the other way.

			Start with a(0) = 12; thereafter each new term is obtained by replacing each prime factor of the previous term with the next prime, to whose product 1 is added before it is halved:
12 = 2^2 * 3 = p_1^2 * p_2 -> ((p_2^2 * p_3)+1)/2 = ((9*5)+1)/2 = 23, thus a(1) = 23.
23 = p_9 -> (p_10 + 1)/2 = (29+1)/2 = 15, thus a(2) = 15.

Iterates of A064216 starting from value 12.

All numbers from 1 to 11 are in finite cycles of A048673/A064216, thus 12 is the smallest number in this cycle, regardless of whether it is infinite or finite.

			Start with a(0) = 12; then after each new term is obtained by doubling the previous term, from which one is subtracted, after which each prime factor is replaced with the previous prime:
12 -> ((2*12)-1) = 23 = p_9, and p_8 = 19, thus a(1) = 19.
19 -> ((2*19)-1) = 37 = p_12, and p_11 = 31, thus a(2) = 31.
31 -> ((2*31)-1) = 61 = p_18, and p_17 = 59, thus a(3) = 59.
59 -> ((2*59)-1) = 117 = 3*3*13 = p_2 * p_2 * p_6, and p_1 * p_1 * p_5 = 2*2*11 = 44, thus a(4) = 44.

Iterates of A048673 starting from value 16.

Either this sequence is actually part of the cycle containing 12 (see A246342) or 16 is the smallest member of this cycle (regardless of whether this cycle is finite or infinite), which follows because all numbers 1 .. 11 are in finite cycles, and also 13 and 14 are in closed cycles and 15 is in the cycle of 12.

			Start with a(0) = 16; then after each new term is obtained by replacing each prime factor of the previous term with the next prime, to whose product is added one before it is halved:
16 = 2^4 = p_1^4 -> ((p_2^4)+1)/2 = (3^4 + 1)/2 = (81+1)/2 = 41, thus a(1) = 41.
41 = p_13 -> ((p_14)+1)/2 = (43+1)/2 = 22, thus a(2) = 22.
