COMMENTS

For each n, we define an auxiliary sequence b(k) starting at b(0)=2^n by

b(k+1) = A161946( b(k) ) = A000265(A034448( b(k)), that is, repeated

application of the unitary sigma value to its odd part. b(k) terminates at

some k with b(k)=1. In addition there is an auxiliary parallel sequence

c(k) defined by c(0)=2^n and recursively

c(k+1)= c(k)/A006519(A034448( b(k) )), reducing 2^n by the powers of 2

which are divided out of the sequence b.

The sequence is defined by a(n)=1/c(k), the inverse of the auxiliary

sequence c at the point where b terminates.

All values of the sequence are powers of 2.

EXAMPLE

The irregular table of the sequences b(.) is in row n=0,1,2,.. represented by

.1;

.2,3,1;

.4,5,3,1;

.8,9,5,3,1;

.16,17,9,5,3,1;

.32,33,3,1;

.64,65,21,1;

.128,129,11,3,1;

The associated table of the sequences c(.) in row n=0,1,2,... is

.1;

.2,2,1/2;

.4,4,2,1/2;

.8,8,4,2,1/2;

.16,16,8,4,2,1/2;

.32,32,2,1/2;

.64,64,16,1/2;

The reciprocals of the final entries in the rows give the sequence.
