COMMENTS

a(n) = A010096(n) until n = 255, but 5 = a(256) <> A010096(256) = 4

The least k such that a(k)=n for n>=2 is given by k=2^(2^(n-2)) so the closed form for a(n) follows. - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Apr 28 2005

FORMULA

a(1)=1 for n>=2 a(n)=floor(log(4*log(n)/log(2))/log(2)) - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Apr 28 2005

Equivalently, a(n) = 2 + floor(lg lg n) for n > 1. [Charles R Greathouse IV, Dec 19 2011]

PROG

(PARI) a(n)=if(n<2, 1, floor(log(4*log(n)/log(2))/log(2)))
