COMMENTS

All positive integers seem to occur somewhere in this sequence (a proof would be nice!).

The first occurrence of 6 is a(59474). The first occurrence of 33 is a(2514233).

a(A192362(n)) = n and a(m) <> n for m < A192362(n). [Reinhard Zumkeller, Jun 30 2011]

FORMULA

a(n) = 2^(a(n-1)) mod n, a(1) = 0

EXAMPLE

a(11) = 4, so a(12) = 2^a(11) mod 12 = 16 mod 12 = 4.
