Comments

The usual Bulgarian Solitaire operation (the "first order" version, cf. A242424) applied to an unordered integer partition means: subtract one from each part, and add a new part as large as there were parts in the old partition.

The "Second Order Bulgarian Solitaire" operation means that after subtracting one from each part of the old partition (and discarding the parts that diminished to zero), we apply the (first order) Bulgarian operation to the remaining partition before adding a new part as large as there were parts in the original partition.

In this context, where the parts of partitions are encoded with the indices of primes in the prime factorization of n (as in A112798), A064989(n) gives the remaining partition after one has been subtracted from each part; A242424 applies the first order Bulgarian operation to it; and multiplying with A000040(A001222(n)) adds a part as large as there originally were parts.

Row 2 of A243070. Differs from A122111 for the first time at n=7.

Cf. A242424, A243073, A112798, A105560, A000040, A001222, A064989, A243052, A241909.

Formula

a(1) = 1, a(n) = A000040(A001222(n)) * A242424(A064989(n)) = A105560(n) * A242424(A064989(n)).

a(n) = A241909(A243052(A241909(n))).
