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 Lexicographically earliest sequence of distinct positive terms such that the absolute difference of two consecutive terms has at least 5 distinct prime factors.

%C Conjecturally: this sequence is a permutation of the natural numbers, and a(n) ~ n.

%C This sequence is related to A280659: here we consider the absolute difference, there the sum, of consecutive terms.
