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 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.

This is the sorted list of positions of first appearances in A001055 of each element of the range (A045782).

Also the image of A318284. - Gus Wiseman, Jan 11 2020

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)

The Heinz number of an integer partition (y_1,...,y_k) is prime(y_1)*...*prime(y_k).
