COMMENTS
The 2-adic and 3-adic valuations of a number are respectively given by A007814 and by A007949.
For any distinct prime numbers p and q, let F_{p,q} be the lexicographically earliest sequence of distinct positive terms such that for any n > 0, the p-adic valuation of F_{p,q}(n) equals the q-adic valuation of F_{p,q}(n+1):
- in particular, F_{2,3} = a (this sequence) and F_{3,2} = A304881,
- the powers of q appear in order in F_{p,q},
- every power of q appear in F_{p,q},
- F_{p,q} is a permutation of the natural numbers.
This sequence is a permutation of the natural numbers, with inverse A304872.
The first known fixed points are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 10, 12, 42.
