Inverse of sequence A064216 considered as a permutation of the positive integers. - Howard A. Landman, Sep 25 2001
From Antti Karttunen, Dec 20 2014: (Start)
Permutation of natural numbers obtained by replacing each prime divisor of n with the next prime and mapping the generated odd numbers back to all natural numbers by adding one and then halving.
Note: there is a 7-cycle almost right in the beginning: (6 8 14 17 10 11 7). (See also comments at A249821. This 7-cycle is endlessly copied in permutations like A250249/A250250.)
The only 3-cycle in range 1 .. 402653184 is (2821 3460 5639).
For 1- and 2-cycles, see A245449.
(End)
The first 5-cycle is (1410, 2783, 2451, 2703, 2803). - Robert Israel, Jan 15 2015

(5194, 5356, 6149, 8186, 10709), (46048, 51339, 87915, 102673, 137205) and (175811, 200924, 226175, 246397, 267838) are other 5-cycles.
(10242, 20479, 21413, 29245, 30275, 40354, 48241) is another 7-cycle. (End)
From Antti Karttunen, Feb 10 2021: (Start)
Somewhat artificially, also this permutation can be represented as a binary tree. Each child to the left is obtained by multiplying the parent by 3 and subtracting one, while each child to the right is obtained by applying A253888 to the parent:

41 10 38 12 32 28 20 15 68 25 26 63 50 16 53 19
etc.
Each node's (> 1) parent can be obtained with A253889. Sequences A292243, A292244, A292245 and A292246 are constructed from the residues (mod 3) of the vertices encountered on the path from n to the root (1).

FORMULA
From Antti Karttunen, Dec 20 2014: (Start)
a(1) = 1; for n>1: If n = product_{k>=1} (p_k)^(c_k), then a(n) = (1/2) * (1 + product_{k>=1} (p_{k+1})^(c_k)).
a(n) = (A003961(n)+1) / 2.
a(n) = floor((A045965(n)+1)/2).
Other identities. For all n >= 1:
a(n) = A108228(n)+1.
a(n) = A243501(n)/2.
As a composition of other permutations involving prime-shift operations:
(End)
From Antti Karttunen, Jan 17 2015: (Start)
We also have the following identities:
a(2n) = 3*a(n) - 1. [Thus a(2n+1) = 0 or 1 when reduced modulo 3. See A341346]
a(3n) = 5*a(n) - 2.
a(4n) = 9*a(n) - 4.
a(5n) = 7*a(n) - 3.
a(6n) = 15*a(n) - 7.
a(7n) = 11*a(n) - 5.
a(8n) = 27*a(n) - 13.
a(9n) = 25*a(n) - 12.
and in general:
a(x*y) = (A003961(x) * a(y)) - a(x) + 1, for all x, y >= 1.

Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ c * n^2, where c = (1/4) * Product_{p prime} ((p^2-p)/(p^2-nextprime(p))) = 1.0319981... , where nextprime is A151800. - Amiram Eldar, Jan 18 2023
EXAMPLE
For n = 6, as 6 = 2 * 3 = prime(1) * prime(2), we have a(6) = ((prime(1+1) * prime(2+1))+1) / 2 = ((3 * 5)+1)/2 = 8.
For n = 12, as 12 = 2^2 * 3, we have a(12) = ((3^2 * 5) + 1)/2 = 23.
