%N a(n) = A166133(n)^2 - 1.

%C Let A166133 = B; A166133 is defined as: After b(1)=1, b(2)=2, and b(3)=4, b(n+1) is the smallest divisor of b(n)^2-1 that has not yet appeared in the sequence.

%C Since it is conjectured that A166133 is a permutation of the natural numbers, it is therefore conjectured that this sequence is a permutation of all numbers of the form n^2-1.
