COMMENTS

For all natural numbers m exist exactly three numbers u(m)<v(m)<w(m) with m=a(u(m))=a(v(m))=a(w(m)) (see A086957=u, A086958=v, A086959=w),

permuting {u,v,w} induces 6=3! permutations of natural numbers: [(2,3,1)]->A086960, [(3,2,1)]->A086961, [(1)(2,3)]->A086962, [(2)(3,1)]->A086963, [(3)(2,1)]->A086964 and [(1,2,3)]->A000027.

EXAMPLE

a(p) = p for primes p>3;

divisor set of n=20: {1,2,4,5,10,20}, divisors occurring <20:

1=a(1)=a(2)=a(3), 2=a(4)=a(6)=a(8), 4=a(16); as 4 occurs only once a(20)=4.
