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”).

Starting with n = 1, a(n) is the smallest squarefree number not included earlier if n is odd, else n is the smallest nonsquarefree number.

%C From _Antti Karttunen_, Jun 04 2014: (Start)

%C Squarefree (A005117) and nonsquarefree numbers (A013929) interleaved, the former at odd n and the latter at even n.

%C A243344 is a a "recursivized" variant of this permutation. Like this one, it also satisfies the given simple identity linking the parity of n with the Moebius mu-function. (End)
