%N List of positive integers whose prime tower factorization, as defined in comments, does not contain the prime 2.

%C The prime tower factorization of a number can be recursively defined as follows: the prime tower factorization of 1 is itself; to find the prime tower factorization of an integer n > 1, let n = p_1^e_1 * p_2^e_2 * ... * p_k^e_k be the canonical prime factorization of n, then the prime tower factorization is given by p_1^f_1 * p_2^f_2 * ... * p_k^f_k, where f_i is the prime tower factorization of e_i.

%C An alternative definition: let I(n) be the indicator function for the set of positive integers whose prime tower factorization does not contain a 2. Then I(n) is the multiplicative function satisfying I(p^k) = I(k) for p prime not equal to 2, and I(2^k) = 0.
