A303077 a(1) = 1, and for n > 1, a(n) is the greatest prime number whose binary digits appear in order but not necessarily as consecutive digits in the binary representation of n. 2

COMMENTS
This sequence has similarities with A078833; there binary digits have to be consecutive, here not.
For n > 1, a(n) is the greatest prime number appearing in the n-th row of A301983.
LINKS
FORMULA
a(2*n) = a(n) for any n > 1.
a(n) = n iff n is not composite.
a(n) = 2 iff n = 2^k for some k > 0.
a(n) >= A078833(n).
EXAMPLE
The first terms, alongside the binary representations of n and of a(n), are:
n a(n) bin(n) bin(a(n))

2 2 10 10
3 3 11 11
4 2 100 10_
5 5 101 101
6 3 110 11_
7 7 111 111
