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”).

%N a(1)=1 and a(n+1) is the smallest number m such that A244446(a(n)) < A244446(m).
%C A246625 is the related subsequence of A244446 that gives A244446(a(n)) for each n.
%e a(5) = 42 because 42 is the smallest number m such that A244446(a(4)) < A244446(m), where a(4) = 22, A244446(22) = 2512 and A244446(42) = 1520900.
%Y Cf. A244446, A246625.
