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”).

A175107
a(1)=1. For n >= 2, if A025474(n) is the exponent of the n-th prime-power (1 is considered the first prime-power here), then a(n) = the A025474(n)th integer from among those positive integers not yet in the sequence.

COMMENTS
This sequence is a permutation of the positive integers.
EXAMPLE
9 is the 8th power of a prime. 9 = 3^2. So we want the 2nd integer (because 2 is the exponent) from among those positive integers not in the first 7 terms of the sequence. The first 7 terms are 1,2,3,5,4,6, 9. Those positive integers not yet appearing form the infinite sequence 7,8,10,11,12,13,14,15,16... The 2nd integer not yet occurring is 8. So a(9)=8.
