From Michel Marcus, Apr 24 2016: (Start)

A006939(n) gives the least m such that a(m) = n.

A062770 is the sequence of integers m such that a(m) = 1. (End)

We define the k-th omega of n to be Omega(red^{k-1}(n)) where Omega = A001222 and red^{k} is the k-th functional iteration of A181819. The first two omegas are A001222 and A001221, while this sequence is the third, and A323022 is the fourth. The zeroth omega is not uniquely determined from prime signature, but one possible choice is A056239 (sum of prime indices). - Gus Wiseman, Jan 02 2019

Sanna (2020) proved that for each k>=1, the sequence of numbers n with A071625(n) = k has an asymptotic density A_k = (6/Pi^2) * Sum_{n>=1, n squarefree} rho_k(n)/psi(n), where psi is the Dedekind psi function (A001615), and rho_k(n) is defined by rho_1(n) = 1 if n = 1 and 0 otherwise, rho_{k+1}(n) = 0 if n = 1 and (1/(n-1)) * Sum_{d|n, dAmiram Eldar, Oct 18 2020

Except for n = 2, same as A182850. Unlike A182850, the terms of this sequence depend only on the prime signature (A101296, A118914) of the index.

The adjusted frequency depth of an integer partition is 0 if the partition is empty, and otherwise it is one plus the number of times one must take the multiset of multiplicities to reach a singleton. For example, the partition (32211) has adjusted frequency depth 5 because we have: (32211) -> (221) -> (21) -> (11) -> (2).

The term "frequency depth" appears to have been coined by Clark Kimberling in A225485 and A225486, and can be applied to both integers (A323014) and integer partitions (this sequence).

Let S = {x(1),...,x(k)} be a multiset whose distinct elements are y(1),...,y(h). Let f(i) be the frequency of y(i) in S. Define F(S) = {f(1),..,f(h)}, F(1,S) = F(S), and F(m,S) = F(F(m-1),S) for m>1. Then lim(F(m,S)) = {1} for every S, so that there is a least positive integer i for which F(i,S) = {1}, which we call the frequency depth of S.

Equivalently, the frequency depth of an integer partition is the number of times one must take the multiset of multiplicities to reach (1). For example, the partition (32211) has frequency depth 5 because we have: (32211) -> (221) -> (21) -> (11) -> (2) -> (1). - Gus Wiseman, Apr 19 2019

Below, m^n abbreviates the sum m+...+m of n terms. In the following list, the numbers p_1,...,p_k are distinct, m >= 1, and k >= 1. The forms of the partitions being counted are as follows:

column 1: [n],

column 2: [m^k],

column 3: [p_1^m,...,p_k^m],

column 4: [(p_1^m_1)^m,..., (p_k^m_k)^m], distinct numbers m_i.

Column 3 is of special interest. Assume first that m = 1, so that the form of partition being counted is p = [p_1,...,p_k], with conjugate given by [q_1,...,q_m] where q_i is the number of parts of p that are >= i. Since the p_i are distinct, the distinct parts of q are the integers 1,2,...,k. For the general case that m >= 1, the distinct parts of q are the integers m,...,km. Let S(n) denote the set of partitions of n counted by column 3. Then if a and b are in the set S*(n) of conjugates of partitions in S(n), and if a > b, then a - b is also in S*(n). Call this the subtraction property. Conversely, if a partition q has the subtraction property, then q must consist of a set of numbers m,..,km for some m. Thus, column 3 counts the partitions of n that have the subtraction property. (End)

The function A181819 maps p^i*...*q^j to prime(i)*...*prime(j) where p through q are distinct primes.

The indices of terms greater than 1 are {60, 84, 90, 120, 126, 132, 140, 150, ...}.

First term greater than 2 is a(1801800) = 3. In general, the first appearance of k is a(A182856(k)) = k.

The prime signature of n (row n of A118914) is the multiset of prime multiplicities in n.

We define the k-th omega of n to be Omega(red^{k-1}(n)) where Omega = A001222 and red^{k} is the k-th functional iteration of A181819. The first three omegas are A001222, A001221, A071625, and this sequence is the fourth. The zeroth omega is not uniquely determined from prime signature, but one possible choice is A056239 (sum of prime indices).

The adjusted frequency depth of a positive integer n is 0 if n = 1, and otherwise it is one plus the number of times one must apply A181819 to reach a prime number, where A181819(k = p^i*...*q^j) = prime(i)*...*prime(j) = product of primes indexed by the prime exponents of k. For example, 180 has adjusted frequency depth 5 because we have: 180 -> 18 -> 6 -> 4 -> 3.

Erdős proved that there exist two constants c1, c2 > 0 such that c1 (n / log(n))^(1/2) < a(n) < c2 (n / log(n))^(1/2). - Carlo Sanna, May 28 2019

R. Heyman and R. Miraj proved that the cardinality of the set { floor(n/p) : p <= n, p prime } is same as the number of distinct exponents in the prime factorization of n!. - Md Rahil Miraj, Apr 05 2024

We define the omega-sequence of n (row n of A323023) to have length A323014(n) = frequency depth of n, and the k-th part is Omega(red^{k-1}(n)), where Omega = A001222 and red^{k} is the k-th functional iteration of red = A181819, given by red(n = p^i*...*q^j) = prime(i)*...*prime(j), i.e., the product of primes indexed by the prime exponents of n.

We define the omega-sequence of n (row n of A323023) to have length A323014(n) = adjusted frequency depth of n, and the k-th term is Omega(red^{k-1}(n)), where Omega = A001222 and red^{k} is the k-th functional iteration of red = A181819, defined by red(n = p^i*...*q^j) = prime(i)*...*prime(j) = product of primes indexed by the prime exponents of n. For example, we have 180 -> 18 -> 6 -> 4 -> 3, so the omega-sequence of 180 is (5,3,2,2,1).

The prime omicron of n (A304465) is 0 if n is 1, 1 if n is prime, and otherwise the second-to-last part of the omega-sequence of n. For example, the prime omicron of 180 is 2.

Conjecture: all terms after a(10) = 4 are less than 4.

From James Rayman, Apr 17 2021: (Start)

The conjecture is false. a(3804) = 4. In fact, there are 91 values of n < 10000 such that a(n) = 4.

The first value of n such that a(n) = 5 is 37934. For any other n < 5*10^5, a(n) < 5. (End)
