Inverse of sequence A064216 considered as a permutation of the positive integers. - Howard A. Landman, Sep 25 2001
From Antti Karttunen, Dec 20 2014: (Start)
Permutation of natural numbers obtained by replacing each prime divisor of n with the next prime and mapping the generated odd numbers back to all natural numbers by adding one and then halving.
Note: there is a 7-cycle almost right in the beginning: (6 8 14 17 10 11 7). (See also comments at A249821. This 7-cycle is endlessly copied in permutations like A250249/A250250.)
The only 3-cycle in range 1 .. 402653184 is (2821 3460 5639).
For 1- and 2-cycles, see A245449.
(End)
The first 5-cycle is (1410, 2783, 2451, 2703, 2803). - Robert Israel, Jan 15 2015
From Michel Marcus, Aug 09 2020: (Start)
(5194, 5356, 6149, 8186, 10709), (46048, 51339, 87915, 102673, 137205) and (175811, 200924, 226175, 246397, 267838) are other 5-cycles.
(10242, 20479, 21413, 29245, 30275, 40354, 48241) is another 7-cycle. (End)
From Antti Karttunen, Feb 10 2021: (Start)
Somewhat artificially, also this permutation can be represented as a binary tree. Each child to the left is obtained by multiplying the parent by 3 and subtracting one, while each child to the right is obtained by applying A253888 to the parent:
                                       1

etc.
Each node's (> 1) parent can be obtained with A253889. Sequences A292243, A292244, A292245 and A292246 are constructed from the residues (mod 3) of the vertices encountered on the path from n to the root (1).

			For n = 6, as 6 = 2 * 3 = prime(1) * prime(2), we have a(6) = ((prime(1+1) * prime(2+1))+1) / 2 = ((3 * 5)+1)/2 = 8.
For n = 12, as 12 = 2^2 * 3, we have a(12) = ((3^2 * 5) + 1)/2 = 23.

Suppose that s is an increasing sequence of positive integers, that the complement t of s is infinite, and that t(1)=1. The dispersion of s is the array D whose n-th row is (t(n), s(t(n)), s(s(t(n))), s(s(s(t(n)))), ...). Every positive integer occurs exactly once in D, so that, as a sequence, D is a permutation of the positive integers. The sequence u given by u(n) = {index of the row of D that contains n} is a fractal sequence. In this case s(n) = A016789(n-1), t(n) = A032766(n) [from term A032766(1) onward] and u(n) = A253887(n).

The sequence 0,1,0,0,0,2,0,...,i.e., (a(n)) with the first term removed, is the unique fixed point of the constant length 3 morphism N -> 0 N+1 0 on the infinite alphabet {0,1,...,N,...}. - Michel Dekking, Sep 09 2022
a(n) is the number of trailing 1 digits of n-1 written in ternary, for n>=1. - Kevin Ryde, Sep 09 2022

Other identities and observations. For all n >= 1:
a(n) = A254046(n)-1.
a(n) <= A254045(n) <= A253894(n).
a(3n-1) = A254046(n). - Cyril Damamme, Aug 04 2015
a(n) = A007949(2n-1), i.e., the 3-adic valuation of 2n-1. - Cyril Damamme, Aug 04 2015
From Antti Karttunen, Sep 12 2017: (Start)
For all n >= 1:
a(n) = A007814(A064216(n)) = A007814(A254104(n)) = A135523(A245611(n)).
a(A048673(n)) = a(A254103(n)) = A007814(n).
a(A244154(n)) = A007814(1+n).
a(A245612(n)) = A135523(n). (End)
Asymptotic mean: Limit_{m->oo} (1/m) * Sum_{k=1..m} a(k) = 1/2. - Amiram Eldar, Nov 16 2023
