%N a(n) is the smallest among the natural numbers m with the property that there exists a non-constant quadratic map S^n -> S^m from the n-dimensional sphere to the m-dimensional sphere.
%C Coincides with A053644 until n=24.

%F Uniquely determined by the following: a(2^t + m) = 2^t if 0 <= m < A003484(2^t); a(2^t + m) = 2^t + a(m) if A003484(2^t) <= m < 2^t.
%Y A003484 used in the definition. Cf. A053644.
