Squares modulo all powers of 2. - Robert Israel, Aug 26 2014

From Peter Munn, Dec 11 2019: (Start)

Closed under multiplication.

Contains all even powers of primes.

A subgroup of the positive integers under the binary operation A059897(.,.). For all n, a(n) has no Fermi-Dirac factor of 2 and if m_k denotes the number of Fermi-Dirac factors of a(n) that are congruent to k modulo 8, m_3, m_5 and m_7 have the same parity. It can further be shown (1) all numbers that meet these requirements are in the sequence and (2) this implies closure under A059897(.,.).

(End)

The permutation satisfies A008578(a(n)) = a(A008578(n)) for all n, and is self-inverse.

The sequence of fixed points begins as 0, 1, 6, 11, 29, 36, 66, 95, 107, 121, 149, 174, 216, 313, 319, 396, 427, ... and is itself multiplicative in a sense that if a and b are fixed points, then also a*b is a fixed point.

The records are 0, 1, 3, 9, 19, 61, 281, 361, 843, 1159, 1811, 3721, 5339, 5433, 17141, 78961, 110471, 236883, 325679, ...

and they occur at positions 0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 13, 25, 26, 35, 37, 49, 65, 74, 91, 169, 259, 338, 455, ...

(Note how the permutations map squares to squares, and in general keep the prime signature the same.)

Composition with similarly constructed A235199 gives the permutations A234743 & A234744 with more open cycle-structure.

The result of applying a permutation of the prime numbers to the prime factors of n. - Peter Munn, Dec 15 2019

With n having a unique factorization as A050376(i) * A050376(j) * ... * A050376(k), with i, j, ..., k all distinct, a(n) = A050376(1+i) * A050376(1+j) * ... * A050376(1+k).

Multiplicative because for coprime m and n the Fermi-Dirac factorizations of m and n are disjoint and their union is the Fermi-Dirac factorization of m * n. - Andrew Howroyd, Aug 02 2018

For any m > 0:

- let F(m) be the set of distinct Fermi-Dirac primes (A050376) with product m,

- for any i >=0 0 and j >= 0, let f(prime(i+1)^(2^i)) be the lattice point with coordinates X=i and Y=j (where prime(k) denotes the k-th prime number),

- f establishes a bijection from the Fermi-Dirac primes to the lattice points with nonnegative coordinates,

- let P(m) = { f(p) | p in F(m) },

- P establishes a bijection from the nonnegative integers to the set, say L, of finite sets of lattice points with nonnegative coordinates,

- let Q be the inverse of P,

- for any n > 0 and k > 0:

T(n, k) = Q(P(n) + P(k))

where "+" denotes the Minkowski addition on L.

This sequence has similarities with A297845, and their data sections almost match; T(6, 6) = 30, however A297845(6, 6) = 90.

This sequence has similarities with A067138; here we work on dimension 2, there in dimension 1.

This sequence as a binary operation distributes over A059896, whereas A297845 distributes over multiplication (A003991) and A329329 distributes over A059897. See the comment in A329329 for further description of the relationship between these sequences. - Peter Munn, Dec 19 2019

Apparently the (ordinary) Dirichlet inverse of A050377. - R. J. Mathar, Jul 15 2010

Also analog of Liouville's function (A008836) in Fermi-Dirac arithmetic, where the terms of A050376 play the role of primes (see examples). - Vladimir Shevelev, Oct 28 2013.

Every number in this sequence is the product of a unique subset of A225548.

From Peter Munn, Feb 11 2020: (Start)

The terms are the numbers whose Fermi-Dirac factors (see A050376) occur symmetrically about the main diagonal of A329050.

Closed under the commutative binary operation A059897(.,.). As numbers are self-inverse under A059897, the sequence thereby forms a subgroup of the positive integers under A059897.

Open lockers in the locker problem where the student numbers are the set of perfect squares.

The locker problem is a classic mathematical problem. Imagine a row containing an infinite number of lockers numbered from one to infinity. Also imagine an infinite number of students numbered from one to infinity. All of the lockers begin closed. The first student opens every locker that is a multiple of one, which is every locker. The second student closes every locker that is a multiple of two, so all of the even-numbered lockers are closed. The third student opens or closes every locker that is a multiple of three. This process continues for all of the students. [This is sometimes called the light switch problem - see A360845.]

A variant on the locker problem is when not all student numbers are considered; in the case of this sequence, only the square-numbered students open and close lockers. The sequence here is a list of the open lockers after all of the students have gone.

n is in the sequence if and only if it is the product of a squarefree number (A005117) and a fourth power (A000583). - Robert Israel, Apr 07 2015

Let D be the multiset containing d0(k), the divisor counting function, for each divisor k of n. n is in the sequence if and only if D admits a partition into two parts A and B such that the sum of the elements of A is exactly one more or less than the sum of the elements of B. For example, if n = 80, we have D = {1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10}, and A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 8} and B = {2, 5, 6, 10}. The sum of A is 22, and the sum of B is 23. - Griffin N. Macris, Oct 10 2016

Numbers k such that the largest square dividing k (A008833) is a fourth power.

The asymptotic density of this sequence is Pi^2/15 = A182448 = 0.657973... (Cesàro, 1885). (End)

Closed under the binary operation A059897(.,.), forming a subgroup of the positive integers under A059897. - Peter Munn, Aug 01 2020

Positive integers that survive sieving by the rule: if m appears then 2m, 3m and 6m do not.

Numbers whose squarefree part is congruent to 1 or 5 modulo 6.

Closed under multiplication.

Term by term, the sequence is one half of its complement within A007417, one third of its complement within A003159, and one sixth of its complement within A036668.

Asymptotic density is 1/2.

The set of all a(n) has maximal lower density (1/2) among sets S such that S, 2S, and 3S are disjoint.

Numbers which do not have 2 or 3 in their Fermi-Dirac factorization. Thus each term is a product of a unique subset of A050376 \ {2,3}.

It follows that the sequence is closed with respect to the commutative binary operation A059897(.,.), forming a subgroup of the positive integers considered as a group under A059897. It is the subgroup generated by A050376 \ {2,3}. A003159, A007417 and A036668 correspond to the nontrivial subgroups of its quotient group. It is the lexicographically earliest ordered transversal of the subgroup {1,2,3,6}, which in ordered form is the lexicographically earliest subgroup of order 4.

Self-inverse permutation of natural numbers obtained by mapping the exponent of each prime in the prime factorization of n through involution A193231.

Multiplicative with p^e -> p^A193231(e), p prime and e > 0.

With n having a unique factorization as fdp(i) * fdp(j) * ... * fdp(k), with i, j, ..., k all distinct, a(n) = fdp(i-1) * fdp(j-1) * ... * fdp(k-1), where fdp(0) = 1 and fdp(n) = A050376(n) for n >= 1.

Multiplicative because for coprime m and n the Fermi-Dirac factorizations of m and n are disjoint and their union is the Fermi-Dirac factorization of m * n. - Andrew Howroyd, Aug 02 2018
