Comments

This sequence works as a filter for sequences related to the prime factorization of odd numbers by matching to any sequence that is obtained as f(2*n - 1), where f(n) is any function that depends only on the prime signature of n (see the index entry for "sequences computed from exponents in ..."). The last line in Crossrefs section lists such sequences that were present in the database as of Nov 11 2016, although some of the matches might be spurious.

Formula

a(n) = A046523(2n - 1).

a(n) = A046523(A064216(n)).

From Antti Karttunen, May 31 2017: (Start)

a(n) = A278222(A244153(n)).

a(n) = A278531(A245611(n)).
