COMMENTS

Using a construction in Erdős's paper, it can be shown that a(prime(n)) > 0, except for the primes 3, 5, 7 and 13. Using a theorem of Lehmer, it can be shown that the possible values of q are among the prime factors of 2^(p-1)-1. The sequence A085012 gives the smallest prime q such that q*prime(n) is a pseudoprime.
Sequence A086019 gives the largest prime q such that q*prime(n) is a pseudoprime.

EXAMPLE
|
a(11) = 3 because prime(11) = 31 and 2^30-1 has 3 prime factors (11, 151, 331) that yield pseudoprimes when multiplied by 31.
