A134834 Let {b_n(m)} be a sequence defined by b_n(0)=1, b_n(m) is the largest prime dividing (b_n(m-1) + n). Then a(n) is the smallest positive integer such that b_n(m + a(n)) = b_n(m), for all integers m that are greater than some positive integer M.

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..83.

Example

Sequence {b_9(m)} is 1, 5, 7, 2, 11, 5, 7, 2, 11, ... (5, 7, 2, 11) repeats. So a(9) = 4, the length of the cycle in {b_9(m)}.

Prog

(PARI) a(n) = my(b=1, k, v=List([1])); until(k<#v, k=1; listput(v, b=vecmax(factor(b+n)[, 1])); until(v[k]==b||k==#v, k++)); #v-k; \\ Jinyuan Wang, Aug 22 2021
