Comments

The sum of digits of n in primorial base is odd if n is 1 or 2 (mod 4) and even if n is 0 or 3 (mod 4). Proof: primorials are 1 or 2 (mod 4) and a(n) can be constructed via the greedy algorithm. So if n = 4k + r where 0 <= r < 4, 4k needs an even number of primorials and r needs hammingweight(r) = A000120(r) primorials. Q.E.D. - David A. Corneth, Feb 27 2019

Examples

			For n=24, which is "400" in primorial base (as 24 = 4*(3*2*1) + 0*(2*1) + 0*1, see A049345), the sum of digits is 4, thus a(24) = 4.

Formula

a(n) = 1 + a(A276151(n)) = 1 + a(n-A002110(A276084(n))), a(0) = 0.

or for n >= 1: a(n) = 1 + a(n-A260188(n)).

Other identities and observations. For all n >= 0:

a(n) = A001222(A276086(n)) = A001222(A278226(n)).

a(n) >= A371091(n) >= A267263(n).

From Antti Karttunen, Feb 27 2019: (Start)

a(n) = A000120(A277022(n)).

a(A283477(n)) = A324342(n).

(End)

a(n) = A373606(n) + A373607(n). - Antti Karttunen, Jun 19 2024
