Comments

Equal to nonzero terms of A099308 when sorted into ascending order. In this order, which is dictated by the primorial base expansion of n (A049345) and mapped to products of prime powers by A276086, all terms of A099308 that are prime(k)-smooth appear before the terms that are not prime(k)-smooth.

Number of terms whose greatest prime factor (A006530) is prime(n) [in other words, that are prime(n)-smooth but not prime(n-1)-smooth] is given by A351071(n): 1, 4, 8, 44, 216, 1474, 11130, ...

For all n > 1, A003415(a(n)) is also a term of the sequence.

Note that only 451 of the first 105367 terms (all 19-smooth terms) are such that there occurs a 19-smooth number (A080682) larger than 1 on the path before 1 is encountered, when starting from x = a(n) and iterating with map x -> A003415(x).
