COMMENTS

a(1) = a(3k+3)= 0. Conjecture: a(n) is nonzero for all other values of n.

When a repunit (10^n - 1)/9 = A002275(n) is a repunit prime (A004022) then a(n) = A004022(n), as is the case for n = 2, 19, 23, 317, 1031, etcetera. See also: A000041 number of partitions of n (the partition numbers). For an a(n) = 0 one must have checked up to A000041 partitions for primality and chosen the maximum, or otherwise eliminated all possibilities by proof. E.g. a(9) = 0 as all integers in the partition must be single digits, whose sum must be 9, hence any such concatenation must be divisible by 9. - Jonathan Vos Post, Mar 20 2006

EXAMPLE

a(4) = 211 though 31 and 13 are also prime.

a(16) = 11110111 = Concatenate(1,1,1,10,1,1,1), which shows the limitations of sum-of-digits divisibility test.

a(17) = 101111111 = Concatenate(10,1,1,1,1,1,1,1).
