From Zhi-Wei Sun, Oct 17 2015: (Start)

Conjecture: (i) For any integer k > 2 the sequence pi(n^k)/n^k (n = 2,3,...) is strictly decreasing, where pi(x) denotes the number of primes not exceeding x.

(ii) All the numbers pi(n^2)/n^2 (n = 1,2,3,...) are pairwise distinct. Moreover, we have pi(n^2)/n^2 > pi((n+1)^2)/(n+1)^2 for all n > 15646.

Formula

a(n) = A000720(A000578(n)). - Michel Marcus, Sep 02 2013

Example

a(2)=4 because the only primes < 8 are 2,3,5 and 7.
