COMMENTS
a((A003961(n) + 1) / 2) = n and A003961(a(n)) = 2*n - 1 for all n. If the sequence is indexed by odd numbers only, it becomes multiplicative. In this variant sequence, denoted b, even indices don't exist, and we get b(1) = a(1) = 1, b(3) = a(2) = 2, b(5) = 3, b(7) = 5, b(9) = 4 = b(3) * b(3), ... , b(15) = 6 = b(3) * b(5), and so on. This property can also be stated as: a(x) * a(y) = a(((2x - 1) * (2y - 1) + 1) / 2) for x, y > 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller [re-expressed by Peter Munn, May 23 2020]
Not multiplicative in usual sense - but letting m=2n-1=product_j (p_j)^(e_j) then a(n)=a((m+1)/2)=product_j (p_(j-1))^(e_j). - Henry Bottomley, Apr 15 2005
From Antti Karttunen, Jul 25 2016: (Start)
Several permutations that use prime shift operation A064989 in their definition yield a permutation obtained from their odd bisection when composed with this permutation from the right. For example, we have:
A243505(n) = A122111(a(n)).
A243065(n) = A241909(a(n)).
A244153(n) = A156552(a(n)).
A245611(n) = A243071(a(n)).

FORMULA
a(n) = A064989(2n - 1). - Antti Karttunen, May 12 2014
Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ c * n^2, where c = Product_{p prime > 2} ((p^2-p)/(p^2-q(p))) = 0.6621117868..., where q(p) = prevprime(p) (A151799). - Amiram Eldar, Jan 21 2023
EXAMPLE
For n=11, the 11th odd number is 2*11 - 1 = 21 = 3^1 * 7^1. Replacing the primes 3 and 7 with the previous primes 2 and 5 gives 2^1 * 5^1 = 10, so a(11) = 10. - Michael B. Porter, Jul 25 2016
