A permutation of the positive integers, related to A078442.
a(p) is even when p is prime and is divisible by 2^(prime order of p).
What is the length of the cycle containing 10? Is it infinite? The cycle begins 10, 17, 12, 11, 16, 15, 19, 18, 35, 29, 34, 43, 26, 31, 32, 67, 36, 55, 159, 1055, 441, 563, 100, 447, 7935, 274726911, 1013992070762272391167, ... Implementation in Mmca: NestList[a(AT)# &, 10, 26] Furthermore, it appears that any non-single-digit number has an infinite cycle. (* Robert G. Wilson v, Feb 16 2008 *)

FORMULA
a(n) = 2*A135141((A049084(n))*chip + A066246(n)*(1-chip)) + 1 - chip, where chip = A010051(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jan 29 2014

EXAMPLE
a(20) = 33 = 2*16 + 1 because 20 is 11th composite and a(11)=16. Or, a(20)=33=100001(bin). In other words it is a composite number, its index is a prime number, whose index is a prime....
MATHEMATICA
a[1] = 1; a[n_] := If[PrimeQ@n, 2*a[PrimePi[n]], 2*a[n - 1 - PrimePi@n] + 1]; Array[a, 69] (* Robert G. Wilson v, Feb 16 2008 *)
PROG
(Maxima) Let pc = prime count (which prime it is), cc = composite count:
pc[1]:0;
cc[1]:0;
pc[2]:1;
cc[4]:1;
pc[n]:=if primep(n) then 1+pc[prev_prime(n)] else 0;
cc[n]:=if primep(n) then 0 else if primep(n-1) then 1+cc[n-2] else 1+cc[n-1];
a[1]:1;
a[n]:=if primep(n) then 2*a[pc[n]] else 1+2*a[cc[n]];
