Comments

See the comments in A246676. This is otherwise similar permutation, except that after having reached an odd number 2m-1 when we have shifted the binary representation of n right k steps, here, in contrary to A246676, we don't shift the primes in the prime factorization of the even number 2m, but instead of an even number (2*a(m)), shifting it the same number (k) of positions towards larger primes, whose product is then decremented by one to get the final result.

From Antti Karttunen, Jan 18 2015: (Start)

This can be viewed as an entanglement or encoding permutation where the complementary pairs of sequences to be interwoven together are even and odd numbers (A005843/A005408) which are entangled with another complementary pair: even numbers in the order they appear in A253885 and odd numbers in their usual order: (A253885/A005408).

From the above follows also that this sequence can be represented as a binary tree. Each child to the left is obtained by doubling the parent and subtracting one, and each child to the right is obtained by applying A253885 to the parent:

Examples

			Consider n=30, "11110" in binary. It has to be shifted just one bit-position right that the result were an odd number 15, "1111" in binary. As 15 = 2*8-1, we use 2*a(8) = 2*6 = 12 = 2*2*3 = p_1 * p_1 * p_2 [where p_k denotes the k-th prime, A000040(k)], which we shift one step towards larger primes resulting p_2 * p_2 * p_3 = 3*3*5 = 45, thus a(30) = 45-1 = 44.

Formula

a(1) = 1, a(n) = A242378(A007814(n), 2*a(A003602(n))) - 1. [Where the bivariate function A242378(k,n) changes each prime p(i) in the prime factorization of n to p(i+k), i.e., it's the result of A003961 iterated k times starting from n].

a(1) = 1, a(2n) = A253885(a(n)), a(2n+1) = (2*a(n+1))-1. - Antti Karttunen, Jan 18 2015

As a composition of other permutations:

a(n) = A250243(A249814(n)).

Other identities. For all n >= 1, the following holds:

a(n) = (1+a((2*n)-1))/2. [The odd bisection from a(1) onward with one added and then halved gives the sequence back].

For all n >= 0, the following holds: a(A000051(n)) = A000051(n). [Numbers of the form 2^n + 1 are among the fixed points].
