A257732 Permutation of natural numbers: a(1) = 1, a(lucky(n)) = prime(a(n-1)), a(unlucky(n)) = composite(a(n)), where lucky(n) = n-th lucky number A000959, unlucky(n) = n-th unlucky number A050505, and prime = A000040, composite = A002808.

In other words, a(1) = 1 and for n > 1, if n is the k-th lucky number larger than 1 [i.e., n = A000959(k+1)] then a(n) = nthprime(a(k)), otherwise, when n is the k-th unlucky number [i.e., n = A050505(k)], then a(n) = nthcomposite(a(k)).

Formula

a(1) = 1; for n > 1: if A145649(n) = 1 [i.e., if n is lucky], then a(n) = A000040(a(A109497(n)-1)), otherwise a(n) = A002808(a(n-A109497(n))).

As a composition of other permutations:

a(n) = A246378(A257725(n)).

a(n) = A255422(A257734(n)).
