COMMENTS

The zeros of this sequences are the powerful numbers (A001694). There are no arbitrarily long subsequences with a given upper bound; for example, every sequence of 4 values includes one divisible by 2 but not 4, so there are no more than 3 consecutive zeros. Similarly, there can be no more than 23 consecutive values with none divisible by both 2 and 3 but neither 4 nor 9 (so a(n) >= 2), etc. In general, this gives an upper bound that is a (relatively) small multiple of the k-th primorial number (prime(k)#). One suspects that the actual upper bounds for such subsequences are quite a bit lower; e.g., Erdos conjectured that there are no three consecutive powerful numbers. - Frank Adams-Watters (FrankTAW(AT)Netscape.net), Aug 08 2006

FORMULA

A prime factor of n is unitary iff its exponent is 1 in prime factorization of n. In general GCD[p, n/p]=1 or =p

Additive with a(p^e) = 1 if e = 1, 0 otherwise.
