Conjecturally, also the largest path sum when iterating from n to 1 with nondeterministic map k -> k - k/p, where p is any prime factor of k.

Examples

			For n=119, the graph obtained is this:
              119
             _/\_
            /    \
          102    112
         _/|\_    | \_
       _/  |  \_  |   \_
      /    |    \ |     \
    51     68    96     56
    /|   _/ |   _/|   _/ |

                1.
If we always subtract A052126(n) (i.e., n divided by its largest prime divisor), i.e., iterate with A171462 (starting from 119), we obtain 119-(119/17) = 112 -> 112-(112/7) -> 96-(96/3) -> 64-(64/2) -> 32-(32/2) -> 16-(16/2) -> 8-(8/2) -> 4-(4/2) -> 2-(2/2) -> 1, with sum 119+112+96+64+32+16+8+4+2+1 = 554, thus a(119) = 554. This happens also to be maximal sum of any path in above diagram.

PARI

A333794(n) = if(1==n,n,n + A333794(n-(n/vecmax(factor(n)[, 1]))));

Formula

a(1) = 1; and for n > 1, a(n) = n + a(A171462(n)) = n + a(n-A052126(n)).

a(n) = A073934(n) + A333793(n).

a(n) = n + Max a(n - n/p), for p prime and dividing n. [Conjectured, holds at least up to n=2^24]

For all n >= 1, A333790(n) <= a(n) <= A332904(n).

For all n >= 1, a(n) >= A332993(n). [Apparently, have to check!]
