For n a power of 2, a(n) = n; otherwise, if 2^m is the greatest power of 2 not exceeding n and if k = n-2^m, then a(n) is the smallest number having d(a(k))+1 divisors which has not occurred earlier (d is the divisor counting function A000005).

COMMENTS

Based on a similar recursion to that which produces the Doudna sequence, A005940. Conjectured to be permutation of the positive integers in which the primes appear in natural order.

FORMULA
|
a(2^n + 1) = prime(n + 1); n >= 0
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
a(9)=7 because k=1, and a(1)=1, which has 1 divisor, so we are looking for the smallest number not yet seen which has 2 divisors. This must be 7 because 2,3,5 have occurred already.
