A365059 a(1) = 2; for n > 2, a(n) is the smallest positive number that has not yet appeared that is a multiple of A008472(a(n-1)), the sum of the distinct primes dividing a(n-1).

In the first 500000 terms the only fixed points are 38 and 209, although it is likely more exist. In the same range the smallest missing numbers are 311, 313, 337. The sequence is conjectured to be a permutation of the integers >= 2.

Examples

			a(3) = 6 as a(2) = 4 and A008472(4) = 2, and 6 is the smallest unused number that is a multiple of 2.
a(11) = 15 as a(10) = 12 and A008472(12) = 5, and 15 is the smallest unused number that is a multiple of 5.

In the first 100000 terms the only fixed point is 9, and it is likely no more exist. In the same range the smallest missing numbers are 4073, 5039, 5261. The sequence is conjectured to be a permutation of the integers >= 2.
From Michael De Vlieger, Nov 28 2023: (Start)
In scatterplot, composites fall in a cototient trajectory just above the line a(n)/n, while primes fall into several trajectories well below the line a(n)/n. This is an effect of finding the next term a(n) such that gcd(a(n), a(n-1)) = 1.
The trajectories T of primes a(n) arrange according to a(n+1)/a(n) = m. Hence, for example, T(m), m = 2 includes {2, 5, 7, 13, 19, 31, 43, ...}, T(3) includes {3, 11, 17} and may be finite, T(4) includes {23, 41, 47, 71, 83, 101, ...}, but T(m) for m in {5, 16, 17, ...} does not appear in the first 2^20 terms. It is evident that the trajectories T(m) are nonlinear.
The smallest missing number in a(1..1048576) is prime(3912) = 36899, followed by primes with indices 3995, 4151, 4179, etc. The smallest missing composite is 1116967. (End)

Examples

			a(10) = 8 as a(9) = 9 and A001414(9) = 6, and 8 is the smallest unused number that shares a factor with 6. This is the first term to differ from A365060.
