FORMULA
Other identities. For all n >= 1:
a(A003309(n)) = n-1. [In Ludic sieve A003309(k+1) (i.e., the k-th Ludic number after 1) is the first among the numbers removed at stage k.]
a(2n) = 1. [All even numbers are removed at the stage one of the sieve.]
a(A016945(n)) = 2, a(A255413(n)) = 3, a(A255414(n)) = 4, ..., a(A255419(n)) = 9.
a(A254100(n)) = n.
For all n >= 2:
A255127(a(n), A260739(n)) = n.
