A246377 Permutation of natural numbers: a(1) = 1, a(p_n) = 2*a(n)+1, a(c_n) = 2*a(n), where p_n = n-th prime = A000040(n), c_n = n-th composite number = A002808(n).

Comments

This permutation is otherwise like Katarzyna Matylla's A135141, except that the role of even and odd numbers (or alternatively: primes and composites) has been swapped.

Because 2 is the only even prime, it implies that, apart from a(2)=3, odd numbers occur in odd positions only (along with many even numbers that also occur in odd positions).

This also implies that for each odd composite (A071904) there exists a separate infinite cycle in this permutation, apart from 9 and 15 which are in the same infinite cycle: (..., 23, 9, 4, 2, 3, 7, 5, 15, 28, 120, 82, 46, ...).

Differs from A237427 for the first time at n=19, where a(19) = 29, while A237427(19) = 62.

Formula

a(1) = 1, and for n > 1, if A010051(n) = 1 [i.e. when n is a prime], a(n) = 1+(2*a(A000720(n))), otherwise a(n) = 2*a(A065855(n)).

As a composition of related permutations:

a(n) = A054429(A135141(n)).

a(n) = A135141(A236854(n)).

a(n) = A246376(A246379(n)).

a(n) = A246201(A245703(n)).

a(n) = A243071(A246681(n)). [For n >= 1].

Other identities.

For all n > 1 the following holds:

A000035(a(n)) = A010051(n). [Maps primes to odd numbers > 1, and composites to even numbers, in some order. Permutations A246379 & A246681 have the same property].
