A336882 a(0) = 1; for k >= 0, 0 <= i < 2^k, a(2^k + i) = m_k * a(i), where m_k is the least odd number not in terms 0..2^k - 1. 3

%N a(0) = 1; for k >= 0, 0 <= i < 2^k, a(2^k + i) = m_k * a(i), where m_k is the least odd number not in terms 0..2^k - 1.

%C A permutation of the odd numbers.

%C Every positive integer, m, is the product of a unique subset of the terms of A050376. The members of the subset are often known as the Fermi-Dirac factors of m. In this sequence, the odd numbers appear lexicographically according to their Fermi-Dirac factors (with those factors listed in decreasing order). The equivalent sequence for all positive integers is A052330.

%C The sequence has a conditional exponential identity shown in the formula section. This relies on the offset being 0, as in related sequences, notably A019565 and A052330.

%F a(2^k) = min({ 2*m+1 : m >= 0, 2*m+1 <> a(j), 0 <= j < 2^k }) = A062090(k+2).

%F If x AND y = 0, a(x+y) = a(x) * a(y), where AND denotes the bitwise operation, A004198(.,.).

%F a(x XOR y) = A059897(a(x), a(y)), where XOR denotes bitwise exclusive-or, A003987(.,.).

%F a(x OR y) = A059896(a(x), a(y)), where OR denotes the bitwise operation, A003986(.,.).

%e a(0) = 1, as specified explicitly.

%e m_0 = 3, the least odd number not in terms 0..0.

%e So a(1) = a(2^0 + 0) = m_0 * a(0) = 3 * 1 = 3.

%e m_1 = 5, the least odd number not in terms 0..1.

%e So a(2) = a(2^1 + 0) = m_1 * a(0) = 5 * 1 = 5;

%e and a(3) = a(2^1 + 1) = m_1 * a(1) = 5 * 3 = 15.

%e The initial terms are tabulated below, equated with the product of their Fermi-Dirac factors to exhibit the lexicographic order. We start with 1, since 1 is factored as the empty product and the empty list is first in lexicographic order.

%e 12 63 = 9 * 7.

%Y Subsequence of A052330.

%Y Subsequences: A062090, A332382 (squarefree terms).

%Y A003986, A003987, A004198, A059896, A059897 are used to express relationship between terms of this sequence.
