Comments

A prime index of n is a number m such that prime(m) divides n. The multiset of prime indices of n is row n of A112798.

Examples

			The prime indices of 60 are {1,1,2,3}, differences (0,1,1), positive (1,1).

Crossrefs

Row-lengths are A001221(n) - 1, sums A243055.

For multiplicities instead of differences we have A124010 (prime signature).

Positions of non-strict rows are a subset of A325992.

Including difference 0 gives A355536, 0-prepended A287352.

The 0-prepended version is A383534.

A000040 lists the primes, differences A001223.

A056239 adds up prime indices, row sums of A112798, counted by A001222.
