%N Array read by antidiagonals: A(m,1) = 1 for all positive integers m. A(m,n) = the m-th integer from among those positive integers which are coprime to A(m,n-1).

%C Many, if not all, sequences {A(m,n)}, for fixed m, are periodic after some point. A(m,n) = A(m,n+A132423(n)) for all n > some integer.

%e Array begins:

%e 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, ...

%e 1, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2, ...

%e 1, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, ...

%e 1, 4, 7, 4, 7, 4, ...

%e 1, 5, 6, 13, 5, 6, ...

%e 1, 6, 17, 6, 17, 6, ...

%e ...

%e For example, the positive integers which are coprime to A(4,2)=4 are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, ... The 4th of these integers is 7. So A(4,3) = 7.
