A061987(n)=a(n+1)-a(n), a(A084791(n))=A084789(n), a(A084791(n)+1)=A084790(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jun 03 2003

Successive numbers k such EulerPhi[6 k] == 2 k. [From Artur Jasinski, Nov 05 2008]

Where record values greater than 1 occur in A088468: A160519(n)=A088468(a(n)). [From Reinhard Zumkeller, May 16 2009]

Also numbers that are divisible by neither 6k-1 nor 6k+1, for all k > 0. [From Robert G. Wilson v, Oct 26 2010]

Also numbers m such that the rooted tree with Matula-Goebel number m has m antichains. The Matula-Goebel number of a rooted tree can be defined in the following recursive manner: to the one-vertex tree there corresponds the number 1; to a tree T with root degree 1 there corresponds the t-th prime number, where t is the Matula-Goebel number of the tree obtained from T by deleting the edge emanating from the root; to a tree T with root degree m>=2 there corresponds the product of the Matula-Goebel numbers of the m branches of T. The vertices of a rooted tree can be regarded as a partially ordered set, where u<=v holds for two vertices u and v if and only if u lies on the unique path between v and the root. An antichain is a nonempty set of mutually incomparable vertices. Example: m=4 is in the sequence because the corresponding rooted tree is \/=ARB (R is the root) having 4 antichains (A, R, B, AB).

FORMULA

An asymptotic formula for a(n) is roughly : a(n)= 1/sqrt(6)*exp(sqrt(2*ln(2)*ln(3)*n)). - Benoit Cloitre, Nov 20 2001

Union of powers of 2 and 3 with n such that psi(n)=2*n, where psi(n)=n*Product_(1+1/p) over all prime factors p of n. - Lekraj Beedassy, Sep 07 2004

The characteristic function of this sequence is given by:

  Sum_{n>=1} x^a(n) = Sum_{n>=1} moebius(6*n)*x^n/(1-x^n). [Paul D. Hanna, Sep 18 2011]
