Shadow transform of the squares A000290. - Vladeta Jovovic, Aug 02 2002

Labos Elemer (LABOS(AT)ana.sote.hu) and Henry Bottomley independently proved that (2) and (3) define the same sequence. Bottomley also showed that (1) and (2) define the same sequence.

Labos: Proof that (2)=(3): Let Max{[GCD[d,n/d]}=K, then d=Kx,n/d=Ky so n=KKxy where xy is the squarefree part of n,otherwise K is not maximal. Observe also that g=GCD[K,xy] is not necessarily 1. Thus K is also the "maximal square-root factor" of n.

A note on square roots of numbers: we can write sqrt(n) = b*sqrt(c) where c is squarefree. Then b = A000188(n) is the "inner square root" of n, c = A007913(n), LCM(b,c) = A007947(n) = "squarefree kernel" of n and bc = A019554(n) = "outer square root" of n.
