Daniel Forgues, Table of n, a(n) for n=1..10000

FORMULA

(i) a(n) < n for n>2. (ii) a(n)/n is bounded and lim sup a(n)/n must be around 0.7. (iii) sum(k=1, k, a(k)) seems to be asymptotic to c*n^2 with c around 0.29. (iv) a(n) = 2 if n is in A070228 (proof seems self-evident), hence there's no asymptotic expression for a(n) (just the average in (iii)). - Benoit Cloitre, Oct 14, 2002

EXAMPLE

a(5)=2 because pp(5)=16=2^4 (not 4^2 as we take the smallest base).

MATHEMATICA

pp = Select[ Range[5000], Apply[GCD, Last[ Transpose[ FactorInteger[ # ]]]] > 1 &]; f[n_] := Block[{b = 2}, While[ !IntegerQ[ Log[b, pp[[n]]]], b++ ]; b]; Join[{1}, Table[ f[n], {n, 2, 80}]]

CROSSREFS
