Comments

A pseudo-logarithmic function in the sense that a(b*c) = a(b)+a(c) and so a(b^c) = c*a(b) and f(n) = k^a(n) is a multiplicative function. [Cf. A248692 for example.] Essentially a function from the positive integers onto the partitions of the nonnegative integers (1->0, 2->1, 3->2, 4->1+1, 5->3, 6->1+2, etc.) so each value a(n) appears A000041(a(n)) times, first with the a(n)-th prime and last with the a(n)-th power of 2. Produces triangular numbers from primorials. - Henry Bottomley, Nov 22 2001

Michael Nyvang writes (May 08 2006) that the Danish composer Karl Aage Rasmussen discovered this sequence in the 1990's: it has excellent musical properties.

All A000041(a(n)) different n's with the same value a(n) are listed in row a(n) of triangle A215366. - Alois P. Heinz, Aug 09 2012

a(n) is the sum of the parts of the partition having Heinz number n. We define the Heinz number of a partition p = [p_1, p_2, ..., p_r] as Product_{j=1..r} (p_j-th prime) (concept used by Alois P. Heinz in A215366 as an "encoding" of a partition). For example, for the partition [1, 1, 2, 4, 10] we get 2*2*3*7*29 = 2436. Example: a(33) = 7 because the partition with Heinz number 33 = 3 * 11 is [2,5]. - Emeric Deutsch, May 19 2015

Examples

			a(12) = 1*2 + 2*1 = 4, since 12 = 2^2 *3^1 = (p_1)^2 *(p_2)^1.

Formula

Totally additive with a(p) = PrimePi(p), where PrimePi(n) = A000720(n).

a(n) = Sum_{k=1..A001221(n)} A049084(A027748(k))*A124010(k). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Apr 27 2013

From Antti Karttunen, Oct 11 2014: (Start)

a(n) = n - A178503(n).

a(n) = A161511(A156552(n)).

a(n) = A227183(A243354(n)).

For all n >= 0:

a(A002110(n)) = A000217(n). [Cf. Henry Bottomley's comment above.]

a(A005940(n+1)) = A161511(n).

a(A243353(n)) = A227183(n).

Also, for all n >= 1:

a(A241909(n)) = A243503(n).

a(A122111(n)) = a(n).

a(A242424(n)) = a(n).

A248692(n) = 2^a(n). (End)

a(n) < A329605(n), a(n) = A001222(A108951(n)), a(A329902(n)) = A112778(n). - Antti Karttunen, Jan 14 2020
