A340716 Lexicographically earliest sequence of positive integers with as many distinct values as possible such that for any n > 0, a(n + pi(n)) = a(n) (where pi(n) = A000720(n) corresponds to the number of prime numbers <= n). 2

%N Lexicographically earliest sequence of positive integers with as many distinct values as possible such that for any n > 0, a(n + pi(n)) = a(n) (where pi(n) = A000720(n) corresponds to the number of prime numbers <= n).

%C The condition "with as many distinct values as possible" means here that for any distinct m and n, provided the orbits of m and n under the map x -> x + pi(x) do not merge, then a(m) <> a(n).

%C This sequence has similarities with A003602 (A003602(2*n) = A003602(n)) and with A163491 (A163491(n+ceiling(n/2)) = A163491(n)).

%F a(n) = 2 iff n belongs to A061535.

%F a(A095116(n)) = n + 1.

%e The first terms, alongside n + pi(n), are:

%e n a(n) n + pi(n)
