Comments

This sequence is a permutation of the positive integers with inverse A355436.

The construction of this sequence is similar to that of A269838.

This sequence can also be seen as an irregular table:

- with row lengths given by A011782,

- with initial row (1),

- given the first k+1 rows (with globally 2^k terms), the next row contains a multiple of a(2^k), followed by a multiple of a(2^k-1), ..., followed by a multiple of a(1).

Index entries for sequences that are permutations of the natural numbers

Formula

a(2^n) = prime(n) for any n > 0 (where prime(n) denotes the n-th prime number).

Example

As an irregular table, the first rows are:
    [1]
    [2]
    [4, 3]
    [6, 8, 10, 5]
    [15, 20, 16, 12, 9, 24, 14, 7]
    [21, 28, 48, 18, 36, 32, 40, 30, 25, 50, 56, 42, 27, 44, 22, 11]
.
The first terms are:
  n   a(n)  A080079(n-1)  a(A080079(n-1))
  --  ----  ------------  ---------------
   1     1  N/A           N/A
   2     2             1                1
   3     4             2                2
   4     3             1                1
   5     6             4                3
   6     8             3                4
   7    10             2                2

  10    20             7               10
  11    16             6                8
  12    12             5                6
