A bijective operator is defined on the Aminu numbers which in turn generates another cyclic group. Aminu numbers were first reported as the cardinality of some subgroups of regular groups whose order and degree coincide, (Ibrahim,2004;2005;2007 and Ibrahim and Audu 2005).The action of the operator on the group structures where constructed using some special succession scheme which led to emergence of sequences such as A161719. This sequence enumerates half the difference between the first and last numbers in the 7th cycle of such group structures.

a(n)=(Pn-7)/2;Pn>=5

For Pn=5, a(1)=-2/2=-1, for Pn=7, a(2)=0/2=0, for Pn=11,a(3)=4/2=2

(Other) For Pn>=5 do the following let a(n)=(Pn-7)/2 write a(n) end.
