A280738 After S(n)=A280864(n) has been computed, let p(n) = product of distinct primes shared by S(n-1) and S(n); let q(n) = product of distinct primes in S(n) but not in S(n-1); and let r(n) = smallest number not yet in S. Sequence gives p(n).

We use the convention that an empty product is 1.

By decree, gcd(S(n+1),p(n)) = 1, gcd(S(n+1),q(n)) = q(n) = p(n+1), S(n+1) >= r(n).

By definition, all terms are squarefree. Let {i,j,k} be distinct fixed positive numbers. Conjecture: All squarefree numbers appear infinitely often, and all terms a(n) = j are immediately preceded and followed infinitely often by all terms a(n-1) = i and a(n+1) = k. If so, then A280864 is a permutation of the natural numbers. - Bob Selcoe, Apr 04 2017
