%C For any n, the sequence n, a(n), a(a(n)), a(a(a(n))), ... is eventually periodic with period <= 2 [Farrokhi]. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Apr 25 2009

%C a(A005117(n)) = 1; a(A013929(n)) > 1; A010052(a(A122132(n))) = 1. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Feb 17 2012

%C From _Bernard Schott_, Mar 26 2021: (Start)

%C The study of some properties of this sequence was proposed in the 1st problem of Concours Général in 2012 in France (see links).

%C Terms are precisely the powerful numbers in A001694.

%C If m is a term, there is a term q such that a(q) = m.

%C a(a(n)) <= n (see examples). (End)
