FORMULA
Multiplicative with a(p) = (if p mod 4 = 1 and p+2 is prime then p+2 else (if p mod 4 = 3 and p-2 is prime then p-2 else p)), p prime.
a(a(n)) = n, a self-inverse permutation of natural numbers.
Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ c * n^2 / 2, where c = Product_{(p < q) swapped pair} ((p^2-p)*(q^2-q)/((p^2-q)*(q^2-p))) = 1.0627249749498993391... . - Amiram Eldar, Feb 26 2024
EXAMPLE
a(65) = a(5*13) = a(5)*a(13) = a(4*1+1)*a(13) = (4*1+3)*13 = 7*13 = 91.
