This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

Numbers k such that both k and A001065(k) are in A025475.
Eight of the first nine terms are squares of Mersenne primes (A133049).
From Pontus von Brömssen, Sep 17 2024: (Start)
All squares of Mersenne primes are terms.
10^20 < a(10) <= A133049(9) = (2^61-1)^2.
All terms are odd. Otherwise, 2^k would be a term for some positive k >= 2 and then A001065(2^k) = 2^k-1 would be a prime power in A025475, which is impossible by Catalan's conjecture (Mihăilescu's theorem).
(End)

Examples

			Proper divisors of 243 are 1, 3, 9, 27, 81, their sum is 121 = 11^2, so 243 is in the sequence.

The term "prime power" is ambiguous. To a mathematician it means any number p^k, p prime, k >= 0, including p^0 = 1.
Any nonzero integer is a product of primes and units, where the units are +1 and -1. This is tied to the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic which proves that the factorizations are unique up to order and units. (So, since 1 = p^0 does not have a well defined prime base p, it is sometimes not regarded as a prime power. See A246655 for the sequence without 1.)
These numbers are (apart from 1) the numbers of elements in finite fields. - Franz Vrabec, Aug 11 2004
Numbers whose divisors form a geometrical progression. The divisors of p^k are 1, p, p^2, p^3, ..., p^k. - Amarnath Murthy, Jan 09 2002
These are also precisely the orders of those finite affine planes that are known to exist as of today. (The order of a finite affine plane is the number of points in an arbitrarily chosen line of that plane. This number is unique for all lines comprise the same number of points.) - Peter C. Heinig (algorithms(AT)gmx.de), Aug 09 2006
Except for first term, the index of the second number divisible by n in A002378, if the index equals n. - Mats Granvik, Nov 18 2007
These are precisely the numbers such that lcm(1,...,m-1) < lcm(1,...,m) (=A003418(m) for m>0; here for m=1, the l.h.s. is taken to be 0). We have a(n+1)=a(n)+1 if a(n) is a Mersenne prime or a(n)+1 is a Fermat prime; the converse is true except for n=7 (from Catalan's conjecture) and n=1, since 2^1-1 and 2^0+1 are not considered as Mersenne resp. Fermat prime. - M. F. Hasler, Jan 18 2007, Apr 18 2010
The sequence is A000015 without repetitions, or more formally, A000961=Union[A000015]. - Zak Seidov, Feb 06 2008
Except for a(1)=1, indices for which the cyclotomic polynomial Phi[k] yields a prime at x=1, cf. A020500. - M. F. Hasler, Apr 04 2008

Number of distinct primes dividing n=omega(n) < 2. - Juri-Stepan Gerasimov, Oct 30 2009
Numbers n such that Sum_{p-1|p is prime and divisor of n} = Product_{p-1|p is prime and divisor of n}. A055631(n) = A173557(n-1). - Juri-Stepan Gerasimov, Dec 09 2009, Mar 10 2010

A003415(a(n)) = A192015(n); A068346(a(n)) = A192016(n); a(n)=A192134(n) + A192015(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jun 26 2011

The elements are called prime powers in contrast to the powers of primes which are the numbers of the same form but with k >= 0, cf. A000961.
Every nonzero integer is the product of elements of this sequence which are relatively prime and an element of {-1, 1}. This product is up to a rearrangement of the factors unique. (This statement is the fundamental theorem of arithmetic.)
These numbers are the numbers such that the von Mangoldt function is nonzero.
These numbers are the numbers of elements in finite fields. - Franz Vrabec, Aug 11 2004
A positive integer n is a prime power if and only if nZ is a primary ideal of Z. - John Cremona, Sep 02 2014

Numbers that are evenly divisible by exactly one prime number. - Lee A. Newberg, May 07 2018
Ram proved that these are precisely the numbers n such that the binomial coefficients n!/(m!(n-m)!) for m = 1..n-1 have a common factor greater than 1 (which is the unique prime dividing n). See Joris, Oestreicher & Steinig for a generalization. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Apr 24 2019
Blagojević & Ziegler prove that for these n and for any convex polygon in the plane, the polygon can be partitioned into n polygons with equal area and equal perimeter.

Comments

The fixed points of the x -> A181819(x) map are 1 and 2. Note that the x -> A000005(x) map has the same fixed points, and that A000005(n) = A181819(n) iff n is cubefree (cf. A004709). Under the x -> A181819(x) map, it seems significantly easier to generalize about which kinds of integers take a given number of iterations to reach a fixed point than under the x -> A000005(x) map.
Also the number of steps in the reduction of the multiset of prime factors of n wherein one repeatedly takes the multiset of multiplicities. For example, the a(90) = 5 steps are {2,3,3,5} -> {1,1,2} -> {1,2} -> {1,1} -> {2} -> {1}. - Gus Wiseman, May 13 2018

Examples

			A181819(6) = 4; A181819(4) = 3; A181819(3) = 2; A181819(2) = 2. Therefore, a(6) = 3, a(4) = 2, a(3)= 1, and a(2) = 0.

Comments

Michel Waldschmidt writes: Conjecture 1.3 (Pillai). Let k be a positive integer. The equation x^p - y^q = k where the unknowns x, y, p and q take integer values, all >= 2, has only finitely many solutions (x,y,p,q). This means that in the increasing sequence of perfect powers [A001597] the difference between two consecutive terms [the present sequence] tends to infinity. It is not even known whether for, say, k=2, Pillai's equation has only finitely many solutions. A related open question is whether the number 6 occurs as a difference between two perfect powers. See Sierpiński [1970], problem 238a, p. 116. - Jonathan Vos Post, Feb 18 2008
Are there are any adjacent equal terms? - Gus Wiseman, Oct 08 2024

Examples

			Consecutive perfect powers are A001597(14) = 121, A001597(13) = 100, so a(13) = 121 - 100 = 21.

The maximum value of terms in the sequence, through the (10^5)th term, is 2. - Harvey P. Dale, Aug 24 2014
This is conjectured to be the maximum, see also A366833. - Gus Wiseman, Nov 06 2024

Examples

			There are two prime powers between 2179 = A000040(327) and 2203 = A000040(328): 2187 = 3^7 and 2197 = 13^3, therefore a(327) = 2, A080102(327) = 2187 and A080103(327) = 2197.
