%N a(n) is the smallest k such that A091508(k) = n.

%C This sequence is infinite because every positive integer n appears at or before index n! in the sequence A091508; however, we have found only 84 terms. The last and largest term that we know is a(396) = 999999899639187. The first term that we do not know is a(61) (see attached a-file).

%C a(A394797(n)) < a(k) for all k > A394797(n), where A394797 is the sequence of indices for the record values of A091508.

%F a(n) <= n! for all n. - _M. F. Hasler_, Apr 10 2026

%e a(10) = 68 since A091508(68) = 10, and A091508(k) != 10 for all k < 68.

%Y Cf. A091508, A394797.
