N. J. A. Sloane, Apr 29 2003

a(0)=0, a(1)=1; thereafter a(n) is the number of ordered factorizations of n as a product of integers greater than 1.
Kalmár (1931) seems to be the earliest reference that mentions this sequence (as opposed to A002033). - N. J. A. Sloane, May 05 2016
a(n) is the permanent of the n-1 X n-1 matrix A with (i,j) entry = 1 if j|i+1 and = 0 otherwise. This is because ordered factorizations correspond to nonzero elementary products in the permanent. For example, with n=6, 3*2 -> 1,3,6 [partial products] -> 6,3,1 [reverse list] -> (6,3)(3,1) [partition into pairs with offset 1] -> (5,3)(2,1) [decrement first entry] -> (5,3)(2,1)(1,2)(3,4)(4,5) [append pairs (i,i+1) to get a permutation] -> elementary product A(1,2)A(2,1)A(3,4)A(4,5)A(5,3). - David Callan, Oct 19 2005
This sequence is important in describing the amount of energy in all wave structures in the Universe according to harmonics theory. - Ray Tomes (ray(AT)tomes.biz), Jul 22 2007
a(n) appears to be the number of permutation matrices contributing to the Moebius function. See A008683 for more information. Also a(n) appears to be the Moebius transform of A067824. Furthermore it appears that except for the first term a(n)=A067824(n)*(1/2). Are there other sequences such that when the Moebius transform is applied, the new sequence is also a constant factor times the starting sequence? - Mats Granvik, Jan 01 2009
Numbers divisible by n distinct primes appear to have ordered factorization values that can be found in an n-dimensional summatory Pascal triangle. For example, the ordered factorization values for numbers divisible by two distinct primes can be found in table A059576. - Mats Granvik, Sep 06 2009
Inverse Mobius transform of A174725 and also except for the first term, inverse Mobius transform of A174726. - Mats Granvik, Mar 28 2010
a(n) is a lower bound on the worst-case number of solutions to the probed partial digest problem for n fragments of DNA; see the Newberg & Naor reference, below. - Lee A. Newberg, Aug 02 2011
All integers greater than 1 are perfect numbers over this sequence (for definition of A-perfect numbers, see comment to A175522). - Vladimir Shevelev, Aug 03 2011
If n is squarefree, then a(n) = A000670(A001221(n)) = A000670(A001222(n)). - Vladimir Shevelev and Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Aug 05 2011
A034776 lists the values taken by this sequence. - Robert G. Wilson v, Jun 02 2012

Also the number of strict chains of divisors from n to 1. For example, the a(n) chains for n = 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 30 are:
  1  2/1  4/1    6/1    8/1      12/1      30/1
          4/2/1  6/2/1  8/2/1    12/2/1    30/2/1
                 6/3/1  8/4/1    12/3/1    30/3/1
                        8/4/2/1  12/4/1    30/5/1

More generally: let tau[k](n) denote the number of ordered factorizations of n as a product of k terms, also named the k-th Piltz function (see A007425), then we have for n>1:
a(n) = Sum_{j=1..bigomega(n)} Sum_{k=1..j} (-1)^(j-k)*binomial(j,k)*tau[k](n), or

T(n, k) is called the generalized divisor function (see Beekman).

As an array with offset n=1, k=0, T(n,k) is the number of length-k chains of divisors of n. For example, the T(4,3) = 10 chains are: 111, 211, 221, 222, 411, 421, 422, 441, 442, 444. - Gus Wiseman, Aug 04 2022

We define a divisor d|n to be strictly inferior if d < n/d. Strictly inferior divisors are counted by A056924 and listed by A341674.
These chains have first-quotients (in analogy with first-differences) that are term-wise > their decapitation (maximum element removed). Equivalently, x > y^2 for all adjacent x, y. For example, the divisor chain q = 60/6/2/1 has first-quotients (10,3,2), which are > (6,2,1), so q is counted under a(60).
Also the number of factorizations of n where each factor is greater than the product of all previous factors.

We define a divisor d|n to be strictly superior if d > n/d. Strictly superior divisors are counted by A056924 and listed by A341673.
These chains have first-quotients (in analogy with first-differences) that are term-wise < their decapitation (maximum element removed). Equivalently, x < y^2 for all adjacent x, y. For example, the divisor chain q = 30/6/3 has first-quotients (5,2), which are < (6,3), so q is counted under a(30).
Also the number of ordered factorizations of n where each factor is less than the product of all previous factors.

This sequence counts all of the following essentially equivalent things:
1. Chains of distinct inferior divisors from n to 1, where a divisor d|n is inferior if d <= n/d. Inferior divisors are counted by A038548 and listed by A161906.
2. Chains of divisors from n to 1 whose first-quotients (in analogy with first-differences) are term-wise greater than or equal to their decapitation (maximum element removed). For example, the divisor chain q = 60/4/2/1 has first-quotients (15,2,2), which are >= (4,2,1), so q is counted under a(60).
3. Chains of divisors from n to 1 such that x >= y^2 for all adjacent x, y.
4. Factorizations of n where each factor is greater than or equal to the product of all previous factors.

For example, row n = 6 counts the following multisets:
  {1,1,1,1,1}  {1,1,1,1}  {1,1,1}  {1,1}  {1}  {}
               {1,1,1,2}  {1,1,3}  {1,2}  {5}
               {1,1,2,2}  {1,3,3}  {1,4}
               {1,2,2,2}  {3,3,3}  {2,2}
               {2,2,2,2}           {2,4}
                                   {4,4}
Note that for n = 6, k = 4 in the triangle, the two multisets {1,4} and {2,2} represent the same divisor 4, so they are only counted once under A343656(4,2) = 5.

Row k = 1 of the array is A000005.
Column n = 4 of the array is A000217.
Column n = 6 of the array is A000292.
Row k = 2 of the array is A184389.
The distinct products of these multisets are counted by A343656.
Antidiagonal sums of the array (or row sums of the triangle) are A343661.
A000312 = n^n.
A009998(n,k) = n^k (as an array, offset 1).
A007318 counts k-sets of elements of {1..n}.
A059481 counts k-multisets of elements of {1..n}.
