A356639 Number of integer sequences b with b(1) = 1, b(m) > 0 and b(m+1) - b(m) > 0, of length n which transform under the map S into a nonnegative integer sequence. The transform c = S(b) is defined by c(m) = Product_{k=1..m} b(k) / Product_{k=2..m} (b(k) - b(k-1)).

This sequence can be calculated by a recursive algorithm:
Let B1 be an array of finite length, the "1" denotes that it is the first generation. Let B1' be the reversed version of B1. Let C be the element-wise product C = B1 * B1'. Then B2 is a concatenation of taking each element of B1 and add all divisors of the corresponding element in C. If we start with B1 = {1} then we get this sequence of arrays: B2 = {2}, B3 = {3, 4, 6}, ... . a(n) is the length of the array Bn. In short the length of Bn+1 and so a(n+1) is the sum over A000005(Bn * Bn').
The transform used in the definition of this sequence is its own inverse, so if c = S(b) then b = S(c). The eigensequence is 2^n = S(2^n).
There exist some transformation pairs of infinite sequences in the database:
  A000027 <--> A000142; A000079 <--> A000079; A000045 <--> A001654;
  A026549 <--> A038754; A100071 <--> A001405; A058295 <--> A------;
  A111286 <--> A098011; A093968 <--> A205825; A166447 <--> A------;
  A098558 <--> A004277; A010551 <--> A087811; A100538 <--> A329227;
  A079352 <--> A------; A082458 <--> A------; A008233 <--> A264635;
  A138278 <--> A------; A006501 <--> A264557; A336496 <--> A------;
  A019464 <--> A------; A062112 <--> A------; A171647 <--> A359039;
  A279312 <--> A------; A031923 <--> A------.
These transformation pairs are conjectured:
  A137326 <--> A------; A066332 <--> A300902; A208147 <--> A308546;
  A057895 <--> A------; A349080 <--> A------; A019442 <--> A------;
  A349079 <--> A------.
("A------" means not yet in the database.)
Some sequences in the lists above may need offset adjustment to force a beginning with 1,2,... in the transformation.
If we allowed signed rational numbers, further interesting transformation pairs could be observed. For example, 1/n will transform into factorials with alternating sign. 2^(-n) transforms into ones with alternating sign and 1/A000045(n) into A000045 with alternating sign.

			a(4) = 17. The 17 transformation pairs of length 4 are:
  {1, 2, 3, 4}  = S({1, 2, 6, 24}).
  {1, 2, 3, 5}  = S({1, 2, 6, 15}).
  {1, 2, 3, 6}  = S({1, 2, 6, 12}).
  {1, 2, 3, 9}  = S({1, 2, 6, 9}).
  {1, 2, 3, 12} = S({1, 2, 6, 8}).
  {1, 2, 3, 21} = S({1, 2, 6, 7}).
  {1, 2, 4, 5}  = S({1, 2, 4, 20}).
  {1, 2, 4, 6}  = S({1, 2, 4, 12}).
  {1, 2, 4, 8}  = S({1, 2, 4, 8}).
  {1, 2, 4, 12} = S({1, 2, 4, 6}).
  {1, 2, 4, 20} = S({1, 2, 4, 5}).
  {1, 2, 6, 7}  = S({1, 2, 3, 21}).
  {1, 2, 6, 8}  = S({1, 2, 3, 12}).
  {1, 2, 6, 9}  = S({1, 2, 3, 9}).
  {1, 2, 6, 12} = S({1, 2, 3, 6}).
  {1, 2, 6, 15} = S({1, 2, 3, 5}).
  {1, 2, 6, 24} = S({1, 2, 3, 4}).
b(1) = 1 by definition, b(2) = 1+1 as 1 has only 1 as divisor.
a(3) = A000005(b(2)*b(2)) = 3.
The divisors of b(2) are 1,2,4. So b(3) can be b(2)+1, b(2)+2 and b(2)+4.
a(4) = A000005((b(2)+1)*(b(2)+4)) + A000005((b(2)+2)*(b(2)+2)) + A000005((b(2)+4)*(b(2)+1)) = 17.
