a(n) is the number of non-divisors of n in 1..n. - Jaroslav Krizek, Nov 14 2009
Also equal to the number of partitions p of n such that max(p)-min(p) = 1. The number of partitions of n with max(p)-min(p) <= 1 is n; there is one with k parts for each 1 <= k <= n. max(p)-min(p) = 0 iff k divides n, leaving n-d(n) with a difference of 1. It is easiest to see this by looking at fixed k with increasing n: for k=3, starting with n=3 the partitions are [1,1,1], [2,1,1], [2,2,1], [2,2,2], [3,2,2], etc. - Giovanni Resta, Feb 06 2006 and Franklin T.

Max Alekseyev, Jul 09 2015

Equivalently, satisfies the property: A000005(a(n)) = a(n)-a(n-1). The first differences a(n)-a(n-1) are given in A259935.
V. S. Guba (2015) proved that such an infinite sequence exists. Numerical evidence suggests that it may also be unique -- is it? All terms below 10^10 are defined uniquely.
If the current definition does not uniquely define the sequence, the "lexicographically earliest" condition may be added to make the sequence well-defined.
From Vladimir Shevelev, Jul 21 2015: (Start)
If a(k), a(k+1), a(k+2) is an arithmetic progression, then a(k+1) is in A175304.
Indeed, by the definition of this sequence, a(n)-a(n-1) = d(a(n)), for all n>=1, where d(n) = A000005(n). Hence, have a(k+1) - a(k) = a(k+2) - a(k+1) = d(a(k+1)) = d(a(k+2)). So a(k+1) + d(a(k+2)) = a(k+2) and a(k+1) + d(a(k+1)) = a(k+2).
Therefore, d(a(k+1) + d(a(k+1))) = d(a(k+2))= d(a(k+1)), i.e., a(k+1) is in A175304. Thus, if there are infinitely many pairs of the same consecutive terms of A259935, then A175304 is infinite (see there my conjecture). (End)
From Antti Karttunen, Nov 27 2015: (Start)
If multiple apparently infinite branches would occur at some point of computing, then even if the "lexicographically earliest" condition were then added to the definition, it would not help us much (when computing the sequence), as we would still not know which of the said branches were truly infinite. [See also Max Alekseyev's latter Jul 9 2015 posting on SeqFan-list, where he notes the same thing.] Note that many of the derived sequences tacitly assume that the uniqueness-conjecture is true. See also comments at A262693 and A262896.
One sufficient (but not a necessary) condition for the uniqueness of this sequence is that the sequence A262509 has infinite number of terms. Please see further comments there.
The graph of sequence exhibits two markedly different slopes, depending on whether it is on the "fast lane" of A049820 (even numbers) or the "slow lane" [odd numbers, for example when traversing the 1356 odd terms from 123871 to 113569 at range a(9859) .. a(8504)]. See A263086/A263085 for the "average cumulative speed difference" between the lanes. In general, slow and fast lane stay separate, except when they terminate into one of the squares (A262514) that work as "exchange ramps", forcing the parity (and thus the speed) to change. In average, the odd squares are slightly better than the even squares in attracting lanes going towards smaller numbers (compare A263253 to A263252). The cumulative effect of this bias is that the odd terms are much rarer in this sequence than the even terms (compare A263278 to A262516).

It is conjectured that the terms of A259934 trace the only infinite path in this tree.

After the root (0), the tree narrows next time to the width of just one node at level A262508(1) = 9236, with vertex 119143.

			Rows 0 - 21 of the table. The lines show the nodes of the tree connected by the edge-relation A049820(child) = parent:

Number of perfect squares (A000290) encountered before zero is reached when starting from k = n and repeatedly applying the map that replaces k by k - d(k), where d(k) is the number of divisors of k (A000005). This count includes n itself if it is a square, but excludes the final zero.
Also number of times the parity (of numbers encountered) changes until zero is reached when iterating A049820. This count includes also the last parity change 1 - d(1) -> 0 if coming to zero through 1.
There is a lower bound for this sequence that grows without limit if and only if either (1) A259934 is indeed the unique sequence (satisfying its given condition) and it contains an infinite number of squares (see A262514), or (2) more generally, if each one of all (hypothetically multiple) infinite branches of the tree (defined by parent-child relation A049820(child) = parent) contains an infinite number of squares. See also comments in A262509.

			For n=1, we subtract 1 - A000005(1) = 0, thus we reach zero in one step, and the starting value 1 is a square, thus a(1) = 1. Also, the parity changes once, from odd to even as we go from 1 to 0.
For n=24, when we start repeatedly subtracting the number of divisors (A000005), we obtain the following numbers: 24 - A000005(24) = 24 - 8 = 16, 16 - A000005(16) = 16 - 5 = 11, 11 - 2 = 9, 9 - 3 = 6, 6 - 4 = 2, 2 - 2 = 0. Of these numbers, 16 and 9 are squares larger than zero, thus a(24)=2. Also, we see that the parity changes twice: from even to odd at 16 and then back from odd to even at 9.
