Numbers of the form n = m*p^p (where p is prime), i.e., multiples of some term in A051674, have n' = (m + m')*p^p, which is again of the same form, but strictly larger iff m > 1. Therefore successive derivatives grow to infinity in this case, and they are constant when m = 1. There are other terms in this sequence, but I conjecture that they all eventually lead to a term of this form, e.g., 26 -> 15 -> 8 etc. - M. F. Hasler, Apr 09 2015

Numbers k for which A341999(k) is zero but A359542(k) is not zero.
Any such a nonreaching proper divisor must be one of the terms of A359547.

Examples

			30 = 2*3*5 is included in this sequence, as although it is in A099308, it is not included in A359544 because its proper divisor 15 is not in A099308. Note that 15 is a term of A359547.

Can be extended to negative numbers by defining a(-n) = -a(n).
Based on the product rule for differentiation of functions: for functions f(x) and g(x), (fg)' = f'g + fg'. So with numbers, (ab)' = a'b + ab'. This implies 1' = 0. - Kerry Mitchell, Mar 18 2004
The derivative of a number x with respect to a prime number p as being the number "dx/dp" = (x-x^p)/p, which is an integer due to Fermat's little theorem. - Alexandru Buium, Mar 18 2004
The relation (ab)' = a'b + ab' implies 1' = 0, but it does not imply p' = 1 for p a prime. In fact, any function f defined on the primes can be extended uniquely to a function on the integers satisfying this relation: f(Product_i p_i^e_i) = (Product_i p_i^e_i) * (Sum_i e_i*f(p_i)/p_i). - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Nov 07 2006
See A131116 and A131117 for record values and where they occur. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jun 17 2007
Let n be the product of a multiset P of k primes. Consider the k-dimensional box whose edges are the elements of P. Then the (k-1)-dimensional surface of this box is 2*a(n). For example, 2*a(25) = 20, the perimeter of a 5 X 5 square. Similarly, 2*a(18) = 42, the surface area of a 2 X 3 X 3 box. - David W. Wilson, Mar 11 2011
The arithmetic derivative n' was introduced, probably for the first time, by the Spanish mathematician José Mingot Shelly in June 1911 with "Una cuestión de la teoría de los números", work presented at the "Tercer Congreso Nacional para el Progreso de las Ciencias, Granada", cf. link to the abstract on Zentralblatt MATH, and L. E. Dickson, History of the Theory of Numbers. - Giorgio Balzarotti, Oct 19 2013
a(A235991(n)) odd; a(A235992(n)) even. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 11 2014
Sequence A157037 lists numbers with prime arithmetic derivative, i.e., indices of primes in this sequence. - M. F. Hasler, Apr 07 2015
Maybe the simplest "natural extension" of the arithmetic derivative, in the spirit of the above remark by Franklin T. Adams-Watters (2006), is the "pi based" version where f(p) = primepi(p), see sequence A258851. When f is chosen to be the identity map (on primes), one gets A066959. - M. F. Hasler, Jul 13 2015
When n is composite, it appears that a(n) has lower bound 2*sqrt(n), with equality when n is the square of a prime, and a(n) has upper bound (n/2)*log_2(n), with equality when n is a power of 2. - Daniel Forgues, Jun 22 2016
If n = p1*p2*p3*... where p1, p2, p3, ... are all the prime factors of n (not necessarily distinct), and h is a real number (we assume h nonnegative and < 1), the arithmetic derivative of n is equivalent to n' = lim_{h->0} ((p1+h)*(p2+h)*(p3+h)*... - (p1*p2*p3*...))/h. It also follows that the arithmetic derivative of a prime is 1. We could assume h = 1/N, where N is an integer; then the limit becomes {N -> oo}. Note that n = 1 is not a prime and plays the role of constant. - Giorgio Balzarotti, May 01 2023

Examples

			6' = (2*3)' = 2'*3 + 2*3' = 1*3 + 2*1 = 5.
Note that, for example, 2' + 3' = 1 + 1 = 2, (2+3)' = 5' = 1. So ' is not linear.
G.f. = x^2 + x^3 + 4*x^4 + x^5 + 5*x^6 + x^7 + 12*x^8 + 6*x^9 + 7*x^10 + ...

If n is not a prime, then a(n) >= 2*sqrt(n), or in other words, for all k >= 1 for which A002620(n)+k is not a prime, we have a(A002620(n)+k) > n. [See Ufnarovski and Åhlander, Theorem 9, point (3).]

Prime product form of primorial base expansion of n.
Sequence is a permutation of A048103. It maps the smallest prime not dividing n to the smallest prime dividing n, that is, A020639(a(n)) = A053669(n) holds for all n >= 1.
The sequence satisfies the exponential function identity, a(x + y) = a(x) * a(y), whenever A329041(x,y) = 1, that is, when adding x and y together will not generate any carries in the primorial base. Examples of such pairs of x and y are A328841(n) & A328842(n), and also A328770(n) (when added with itself). - Antti Karttunen, Oct 31 2019
From Antti Karttunen, Feb 18 2022: (Start)
The conjecture given in A327969 asks whether applying this function together with the arithmetic derivative (A003415) in some combination or another can eventually transform every positive integer into zero.
Another related open question asks whether there are any other numbers than n=6 such that when starting from that n and by iterating with A003415, one eventually reaches a(n). See comments in A351088.
This sequence is used in A351255 to list the terms of A099308 in a different order, by the increasing exponents of the successive primes in their prime factorization. (End)
From Bill McEachen, Oct 15 2022: (Start)
From inspection, the least significant decimal digits of a(n) terms form continuous chains of 30 as follows. For n == i (mod 30), i=0..5, there are 6 ordered elements of these 8 {1,2,3,6,9,8,7,4}. Then for n == i (mod 30), i=6..29, there are 12 repeated pairs = {5,0}.
Moreover, when the individual elements of any of the possible groups of 6 are transformed via (7*digit) (mod 10), the result matches one of the other 7 groupings (not all 7 may be seen). As example, {1,2,3,6,9,8} transforms to {7,4,1,2,3,6}. (End)
The least significant digit of a(n) in base 4 is given by A353486, and in base 6 by A358840. - Antti Karttunen, Oct 25 2022, Feb 17 2024

Examples

			For n = 24, which has primorial base representation (see A049345) "400" as 24 = 4*A002110(2) + 0*A002110(1) + 0*A002110(0) = 4*6 + 0*2 + 0*1, thus a(24) = prime(3)^4 * prime(2)^0 * prime(1)^0 = 5^4 = 625.
For n = 35 = "1021" as 35 = 1*A002110(3) + 0*A002110(2) + 2*A002110(1) + 1*A002110(0) = 1*30 + 0*6 + 2*2 + 1*1, thus a(35) = prime(4)^1 * prime(2)^2 * prime(1) = 7 * 3*3 * 2 = 126.

The terms of this sequence are currently known only up to n=23, with the value of a(24) still being uncertain. For the tentative values of the later terms, see sequence A328324 which gives upper bounds for these terms, many of which are very likely also exact values for them.
As A051903(A003415(n)) >= A051903(n)-1, it means that it takes always at least A051903(n) steps to a prime if iterating solely with A003415.

What is the value of a(128), and is A328324(128) well-defined?
When I created this sequence, I conjectured that by applying two simple arithmetic operations "arithmetic derivative" (A003415) and "primorial base exp-function" (A276086) in some combination, and starting from any positive integer, we could always reach zero (via a prime and 1).
At the first sight it seems almost certain that the conjecture holds, as it is always possible at every step to choose from two options (which very rarely meet, see A351088), leading to an exponentially growing search tree, and also because A276086 always jumps out of any dead-end path with p^p-factors (dead-end from the arithmetic derivative's point of view). However, it should be realized that one can reach the terms of either A157037 or A327978 with a single step of A003415 only from squarefree numbers (or respectively, cubefree numbers that are not multiples of 4, see A328234), and in general, because A003415 decreases the maximal exponent of the prime factorization (A051903) at most by one, if the maximal exponent in the prime factorization of n is large, there is a correspondingly long path to traverse if we take only A003415-steps in the iteration, and any step could always lead with certain probability to a p^p-number. Note that the antiderivatives of primorials with a square factor seem quite rare, see A351029.
And although taking a A276086-step will always land us to a p^p-free number (which a priori is not in the obvious dead-end path of A003415, although of course it might eventually lead to one), it (in most cases) also increases the magnitude of number considerably, that tends to make the escape even harder. Particularly, in the majority of cases A276086 increases the maximal exponent (which in the preimage is A328114, "maximal digit value used when n is written in primorial base"), so there will be even a longer journey down to squarefree numbers when using A003415. See the sequences A351067 and A351071 for the diminishing ratios suggesting rapidly diminishing chances of successfully reaching zero from larger terms of A276086. Also, the asymptotic density of A276156 is zero, even though A351073 may contain a few larger values.
On the other hand, if we could prove that by (for example) continuing upwards with any p^p-path of A003415 we could eventually reach with a near certainty a region of numbers with low values of A328114 (i.e., numbers with smallish digits in primorial base, like A276156), then the situation might change (see also A351089). However, a few empirical runs seemed to indicate otherwise.
For all of the above reasons, I now conjecture that there are natural numbers from which it is not possible to reach zero with any combination of steps. For example 128 or 5^5 = 3125.

Examples

			Let -A> stand for an application of A003415 and -B> for an application of A276086, then, we have for example:
a(8) = 6 as we have 8 -A>  12 -B>  25 -A> 10 -A>  7 -A> 1 -A> 0, six transitions in total (and there are no shorter paths).
a(15) = 6 as we have 15 -B> 150 -A> 185 -A> 42 -A> 41 -A> 1 -A> 0, six transitions in total (and there are no shorter paths).
a(20) = 7, as 20 -B> 375 -A> 350 -A> 365 -A> 78 -A> 71 -A> 1 -A> 0, and there are no shorter paths.
For n=112, we know that a(112) cannot be larger than eight, as A328099^(8)(112) = 0, so we have a path of length 8 as 112 -A> 240 -B> 77 -A> 18 -A> 21 -A> 10 -A> 7 -A> 1 -A> 0. Checking all 32 combinations of the paths of lengths of 5 starting from 112 shows that none of them or their prefixes ends with a prime, thus there cannot be any shorter path, and indeed a(112) = 8.
a(24) <= 11 as A328099^(11)(24) = 0, i.e., we have 24 -A> 44 -A> 48 -A> 112 -A> 240 -B> 77 -A> 18 -A> 21 -A> 10 -A> 7 -A> 1 -A> 0. On the other hand, 24 -B> 625 -B> 17794411250 -A> 41620434625 -A> 58507928150 -A> 86090357185 -A> 54113940517 -A> 19982203325 -A> 12038411230 -A> 8426887871 -A> 1 -A> 0, thus offering another path of length 11.

Equivalently, solutions to n'' = 1, since n' = 1 iff n is prime. Twice the lesser of the twin primes, 2*A001359 = A108605, are a subsequence. - M. F. Hasler, Apr 07 2015
All terms are squarefree, because if there would be a prime p whose square p^2 would divide n, then A003415(n) = (A003415(p^2) * (n/p^2)) + (p^2 * A003415(n/p^2)) = p*[(2 * (n/p^2)) + (p * A003415(n/p^2))], which certainly is not a prime. - Antti Karttunen, Oct 10 2019

Examples

			A003415(42) = A003415(2*3*7) = 2*3+3*7+7*2 = 41 = A000040(13), therefore 42 is a term.

Under iterations of the arithmetic derivative, the orbit of some numbers ends in zero, and the orbit of all others (I conjecture) reaches a number of the form m*p^p with prime p, from where on it keeps this form and grows to infinity iff m>1, or remains at this fixed point if m=1.
This is an extension of the sequence A099307 which counts the steps to reach 0 or yields 0 if this never happens.

Denote the k-th derivative of n by d(n,k). We know that we can stop taking derivatives if either d(n,k) = 0 or d(n,k) has a factor of the form p^p for prime p. In the latter case, the derivatives will stay constant or grow without bound.
