Maximal number of terms in any factorization of n.
Number of prime powers (not including 1) that divide n.
Sum of exponents in prime-power factorization of n. - Daniel Forgues, Mar 29 2009
Sum_{d|n} 2^(-A001221(d) - a(n/d)) = Sum_{d|n} 2^(-a(d) - A001221(n/d)) = 1 (see Dressler and van de Lune link). - Michel Marcus, Dec 18 2012
Row sums in A067255. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jun 11 2013
Conjecture: Let f(n) = (x+y)^a(n), and g(n) = x^a(n), and h(n) = (x+y)^A046660(n) * y^A001221(n) with x, y complex numbers and 0^0 = 1. Then f(n) = Sum_{d|n} g(d)*h(n/d). This is proved for x = 1-y (see Dressler and van de Lune link). - Werner Schulte, Feb 10 2018
Let r, s be some fixed integers. Then we have:
  (1) The sequence b(n) = Dirichlet convolution of r^bigomega(n) and s^bigomega(n) is multiplicative with b(p^e) = (r^(e+1)-s^(e+1))/(r-s) for prime p and e >= 0. The case r = s leads to b(p^e) = (e+1)*r^e.
  (2) The sequence c(n) = Dirichlet convolution of r^bigomega(n) and mu(n)*s^bigomega(n) is multiplicative with c(p^e) = (r-s)*r^(e-1) and c(1) = 1 for prime p and e > 0 where mu(n) = A008683(n). - Werner Schulte, Feb 20 2019
a(n) is also the length of the composition series for every solvable group of order n. - Miles Englezou, Apr 25 2024

From Peter C. Heinig (algorithms(AT)gmx.de), Mar 08 2008: (Start)
This is also the number of maximal ideals of the ring (Z/nZ,+,*). Since every finite integral domain must be a field, every prime ideal of Z/nZ is a maximal ideal and since in general each maximal ideal is prime, there are just as many prime ideals as maximal ones in Z/nZ, so the sequence gives the number of prime ideals of Z/nZ as well.
The reason why this number is given by the sequence is that the ideals of Z/nZ are precisely the subgroups of (Z/nZ,+). Hence for an ideal to be maximal it has form a maximal subgroup of (Z/nZ,+) and this is equivalent to having prime index in (Z/nZ) and this is equivalent to being generated by a single prime divisor of n.
Finally, all the groups arising in this way have different orders, hence are different, so the number of maximal ideals equals the number of distinct primes dividing n. (End)

We can use A001221 and A001222 to classify the positive integers as follows.
   A001222(n) = A001221(n) = 0 singles out {1}.
Restricting to n > 1:
   A001222(n)^A001221(n) = 1: A000040, prime numbers.
   A001221(n)^A001222(n) = 1: A246655, prime powers.

Let us introduce a function D(n) = sigma_0(n)/2^(alpha(1) + ... + alpha(r)), sigma_0(n) number of divisors of n (A000005), prime factorization of n = p(1)^alpha(1) * ... * p(r)^alpha(r), alpha(1) + ... + alpha(r) is sequence (A001222). Function D(n) splits the set of positive integers into subsets, according to the value of D(n). Squarefree numbers (A005117) has D(n)=1, other numbers are "deviated" from the squarefree ideal and have 0 < D(n) < 1. For D(n)=1/2 we have A048109, for D(n)=3/4 we have A060687. - Ctibor O.

It appears that these are numbers j such that Product_{k=1..j} (prime(k) mod j) = 0 (see Maple code). - Gary Detlefs, Dec 07 2011. - This is the same claim as Mohammed Bouayoun's Mar 30 2004 comment above. To see why it holds: Primorial numbers, A002110, a subsequence of this sequence, are never divisible by any nonsquarefree number, A013929, and on the other hand, the index of the greatest prime dividing any n is less than n. Cf. A243291. - Antti Karttunen, Jun 03 2014

Because in the factorizations into prime numbers these a(n) (n >= 2) have exponents which are either 0 or 1 one could call the a(n) 'numbers with a fermionic prime number decomposition'. The levels are the prime numbers prime(j), j >= 1, and the occupation numbers (exponents) e(j) are 0 or 1 (like in Pauli's exclusion principle). A 'fermionic state' is then denoted by a sequence with entries 0 or 1, where, except for the zero sequence, trailing zeros are omitted. The zero sequence stands for a(1) = 1. For example a(5) = 6 = 2^1*3^1 is denoted by the 'fermionic state' [1, 1], a(7) = 10 by [1, 0, 1]. Compare with 'fermionic partitions' counted in A000009. - Wolfdieter Lang, May 14 2014
From Vladimir Shevelev, Nov 20 2014: (Start)
The following is an Eratosthenes-type sieve for squarefree numbers. For integers > 1:
1) Remove even numbers, except for 2; the minimal non-removed number is 3.
2) Replace multiples of 3 removed in step 1, and remove multiples of 3 except for 3 itself; the minimal non-removed number is 5.
3) Replace multiples of 5 removed as a result of steps 1 and 2, and remove multiples of 5 except for 5 itself; the minimal non-removed number is 6.
4) Replace multiples of 6 removed as a result of steps 1, 2 and 3 and remove multiples of 6 except for 6 itself; the minimal non-removed number is 7.
5) Repeat using the last minimal non-removed number to sieve from the recovered multiples of previous steps.
Proof. We use induction. Suppose that as a result of the algorithm, we have found all squarefree numbers less than n and no other numbers. If n is squarefree, then the number of its proper divisors d > 1 is even (it is 2^k - 2, where k is the number of its prime divisors), and, by the algorithm, it remains in the sequence. Otherwise, n is removed, since the number of its squarefree divisors > 1 is odd (it is 2^k-1).
(End)
The lexicographically least sequence of integers > 1 such that each entry has an even number of proper divisors occurring in the sequence (that's the sieve restated). - Glen Whitney, Aug 30 2015
0 is nonsquarefree because it is divisible by any square. - Jon Perry, Nov 22 2014, edited by M. F. Hasler, Aug 13 2015
The Heinz numbers of partitions with distinct parts. We define the Heinz number of a partition p = [p_1, p_2, ..., p_r] as Product_{j=1..r} prime(j) (concept used by Alois P. Heinz in A215366 as an "encoding" of a partition). For example, for the partition [1, 1, 2, 4, 10] the Heinz number is 2*2*3*7*29 = 2436. The number 30 (= 2*3*5) is in the sequence because it is the Heinz number of the partition [1,2,3]. - Emeric Deutsch, May 21 2015

Numbers k such that all groups of order k have a trivial Frattini subgroup [Dummit and Foote].
Let the group G have order n. If n is squarefree and n > 1, then G is solvable, and thus by Hall's Theorem contains a subgroup H_p of index p for all p | n. Each H_p is maximal in G by order considerations, and the intersection of all the H_p's is trivial. Thus G's Frattini subgroup Phi(G), being the intersection of G's maximal subgroups, must be trivial. If n is not squarefree, the cyclic group of order n has a nontrivial Frattini subgroup. (End)
Numbers for which the squarefree divisors (A206778) and the unitary divisors (A077610) are the same; moreover they are also the set of divisors (A027750). - Bernard Schott, Nov 04 2022
0 = A008683(a(n)) - A008836(a(n)) = A001615(a(n)) - A000203(a(n)). - Torlach Rush, Feb 08 2023

Number k such that A001414(k) = A008472(k). - Torlach Rush, Apr 14 2025
To elaborate on the formula from Greathouse (2018), the maximum of a(n) - floor(n*Pi^2/6 + sqrt(n)/17) is 10 at indices n = 48715, 48716, 48721, and 48760. The maximum is 11, at the same indices, if floor is taken individually for the two addends and the square root. If the value is rounded instead, the maximum is 9 at 10 indices between 48714 and 48765. - M. F. Hasler, Aug 08 2025

Moebius inversion: f(n) = Sum_{d|n} g(d) for all n <=> g(n) = Sum_{d|n} mu(d)*f(n/d) for all n.
a(n) depends only on prime signature of n (cf. A025487). So a(24) = a(375) since 24 = 2^3 * 3 and 375 = 3 * 5^3 both have prime signature (3, 1).

Conjecture: a(n) is the determinant of Redheffer matrix A143104 where T(n, n) = 0. Verified for the first 50 terms. - Mats Granvik, Jul 25 2008
From Mats Granvik, Dec 06 2008: (Start)
The Editorial Office of the Journal of Number Theory kindly provided (via B. Conrey) the following proof of the conjecture: Let A be A143104 and B be A143104 where T(n, n) = 0.
"Suppose you expand det(B_n) along the bottom row. There is only a 1 in the first position and so the answer is (-1)^n times det(C_{n-1}) say, where C_{n-1} is the (n-1) by (n-1) matrix obtained from B_n by deleting the first column and the last row. Now the determinant of the Redheffer matrix is det(A_n) = M(n) where M(n) is the sum of mu(m) for 1 <= m <= n. Expanding det(A_n) along the bottom row, we see that det(A_n) = (-1)^n * det(C_{n-1}) + M(n-1). So we have det(B_n) = (-1)^n * det(C_{n-1}) = det(A_n) - M(n-1) = M(n) - M(n-1) = mu(n)." (End)
Conjecture: Consider the table A051731 and treat 1 as a divisor. Move the value in the lower right corner vertically to a divisor position in the transpose of the table and you will find that the determinant is the Moebius function.

Formulas for the numerous OEIS entries involving the Möbius transform (Dirichlet convolution of a(n) and some sequence h(n)) can be derived using the following (n >= 1):
Sum_{d|n} mu(d)*h(n/d) = Sum_{k=1..n} h(gcd(n,k))*mu(n/gcd(n,k))/phi(n/gcd(n,k)) = Sum_{k=1..n} h(n/gcd(n,k))*mu(gcd(n,k))/phi(n/gcd(n,k)), where phi = A000010.
Use of gcd(n,k)*lcm(n,k) = n*k provides further variations. (End)
Formulas for products corresponding to the sums above are also available for sequences f(n) > 0: Product_{d|n} f(n/d)^mu(d) = Product_{k=1..n} f(gcd(n,k))^(mu(n/gcd(n,k))/phi(n/gcd(n,k))) = Product_{k=1..n} f(n/gcd(n,k))^(mu(gcd(n,k))/phi(n/gcd(n,k))). - Richard L. Ollerton, Nov 08 2021

a(n) depends only on prime signature of n (cf. A025487). So a(24) = a(375) since 24 = 2^3*3 and 375 = 3*5^3 both have prime signature (3, 1).

a(n) = the sum of the distinct parts of the partition with Heinz number n. We define the Heinz number of a partition p = [p_1, p_2, ..., p_r] as Product_{j=1..r} (p_j-th prime) (concept used by Alois P. Heinz in A215366 as an "encoding" of a partition). For example, for the partition [1, 1, 2, 4, 10] we get 2*2*3*7*29 = 2436. Example: a(75) = 5; indeed, the partition having Heinz number 75 = 3*5*5 is [2,3,3] and 2 + 3 = 5. - Emeric Deutsch, Jun 04 2015

			a(24) = 1 + 2 = 3 because 24 = 2^3 * 3 = p(1)^3 * p(2), p(k) being the k-th prime.

Gus Wiseman, Jul 20 2024

The leaders of maximal weakly increasing runs in a sequence are obtained by splitting it into maximal weakly increasing subsequences and taking the first term of each.

The k-th composition in standard order (graded reverse-lexicographic, A066099) is obtained by taking the set of positions of 1's in the reversed binary expansion of k, prepending 0, taking first differences, and reversing again. This gives a bijective correspondence between nonnegative integers and integer compositions.

			The 58654th composition in standard order is (1,1,3,2,4,1,1,1,2), with maximal weakly increasing runs ((1,1,3),(2,4),(1,1,1,2)), so row 58654 is (1,2,1).
The nonnegative integers, corresponding compositions, and leaders of maximal weakly increasing runs begin:
    0:      () -> ()      15: (1,1,1,1) -> (1)
    1:     (1) -> (1)     16:       (5) -> (5)
    2:     (2) -> (2)     17:     (4,1) -> (4,1)
    3:   (1,1) -> (1)     18:     (3,2) -> (3,2)
    4:     (3) -> (3)     19:   (3,1,1) -> (3,1)
    5:   (2,1) -> (2,1)   20:     (2,3) -> (2)
    6:   (1,2) -> (1)     21:   (2,2,1) -> (2,1)
    7: (1,1,1) -> (1)     22:   (2,1,2) -> (2,1)
    8:     (4) -> (4)     23: (2,1,1,1) -> (2,1)
    9:   (3,1) -> (3,1)   24:     (1,4) -> (1)
   10:   (2,2) -> (2)     25:   (1,3,1) -> (1,1)
   11: (2,1,1) -> (2,1)   26:   (1,2,2) -> (1)
   12:   (1,3) -> (1)     27: (1,2,1,1) -> (1,1)
