Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A065561
a(1) = 1; for n >= 2, a(n) = (d(n)-1)-th highest positive integer that equals no a(k), 1 <= k < n, where d(n) is the number of positive divisors of n, A000005(n).

COMMENTS
Every positive integer occurs once and only once somewhere in this sequence.
EXAMPLE
d(6)-1 = 3 and the 3rd-highest positive integer not equal to 1, 2, 3, 5, or 4 (the values of a(k) for 1 <= k < 6) is 8.
