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
                                 12/6/1    30/6/1
                                 12/4/2/1  30/10/1
                                 12/6/2/1  30/15/1
                                 12/6/3/1  30/6/2/1
                                           30/6/3/1
                                           30/10/2/1
                                           30/10/5/1
                                           30/15/3/1

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
a(n) = Sum_{j=1..bigomega(n)} Sum_{k=0..j-1} (-1)^k*binomial(j,k)*tau[j-k](n). (End)

By a result of Karhumaki and Lifshits, this is also the number of polynomials p(x) with coefficients in {0,1} that divide x^n-1 and such that (x^n-1)/ {(x-1)p(x)} has all coefficients in {0,1}.
The number of tiles of a discrete interval of length n (an interval of Z). - Eric H. Rivals (rivals(AT)lirmm.fr), Mar 13 2007
Bodini and Rivals proved this is the number of tiles of a discrete interval of length n and also is the number (A107067) of polynomials p(x) with coefficients in {0,1} that divide x^n-1 and such that (x^n-1)/ {(x-1)p(x)} has all coefficients in {0,1} (Bodini, Rivals, 2006). This structure of such tiles is also known as Krasner's factorization (Krasner and Ranulac, 1937). The proof also gives an algorithm to recognize if a set is a tile in optimal time and in this case, to compute the smallest interval it can tile (Bodini, Rivals, 2006). - Eric H. Rivals (rivals(AT)lirmm.fr), Mar 13 2007
Number of lone-child-avoiding rooted achiral (or generalized Bethe) trees with positive integer leaves summing to n, where a rooted tree is lone-child-avoiding if all terminal subtrees have at least two branches, and achiral if all branches directly under any given node are equal. For example, the a(6) = 6 trees are 6, (111111), (222), ((11)(11)(11)), (33), ((111)(111)). - Gus Wiseman, Jul 13 2018. Updated Aug 22 2020.

a(n) is the number of chains including n of the divisor lattice of divisors of n, which is to say, a(n) is the number of (d_1,d_2,...,d_k) such that d_1 < d_2 < ... < d_k = n and d_i divides d_{i+1} for 1 <= i <= k-1. Using this definition, the recurrence a(n) = 1 + Sum_{0 < d < n, d|n} a(d) is evident by enumerating the preceding element of n in the chains. If we count instead the chains whose LCM of members is n, then a(1) would be 2 because the empty chain is included, and we would obtain 2*A074206(n). - Jianing Song, Aug 21 2024

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).

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.

From Gus Wiseman, Mar 05 2021: (Start)
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.

a(p) = p for prime p.
a(n) = n^k when n is the product of k distinct primes (conjecture).
a(n) = n-th term of the n-th Dirichlet self-convolution of the all 1's sequence.
a(2^n) = A060690(n). - Alois P. Heinz, Jun 12 2024
