COMMENTS

For any prime p, generation m consists of the numbers p^(m-1) <= k < p^m. The zeroth generation consists of just the number 0. When there is a k in generation m such that p divides A001008(k), then that k may generate solutions in generation m+1. It is conjectured that for all primes there are solutions for only a finite number of generations. The number of generations is unknown for p=83.
Boyd's table 3 states incorrectly that harmonic primes have 2 generations; harmonic primes have 3 generations.

EXAMPLE
|
a(4)=7 because the fourth prime, 7, divides A001008(k) for k = 6, 42, 48, 295, 299, 337, 341, 2096, 2390, 14675, 16731, 16735 and 102728. These values of k fall into 6 generations; adding the zeroth generation makes a total of 7 generations.
