COMMENTS

This is the inverse Moebius transform of A101605. If n = (p1^e1)*(p2^e2)* ... * (pj^ej) then a(n) = |{k: ek>=3}| + ((j-1)/2)*|{k: ek>=2}| + C(j,3). The first term is the number of distinct cubes of primes in the factors of n (the first way of finding a 3-almost prime). The second term is the number of distinct squares of primes, each of which can be multiplied by any of the other distinct primes, halved to avoid double-counts (the second way of finding a 3-almost prime). The third term is the number of distinct products of 3 distinct primes, which is the number of combinations of j primes taken 3 at a time, A000292(j), (the third way of finding a 3-almost prime).

FORMULA

If n = (p1^e1 * p2^e2 * ... * pj^ej) for primes p1, p2, ..., pj and integer exponents e1, e2, ..., ej, then a(n) = a(n) = |{k: ek>=3}| + ((j-1)/2)*|{k: ek>=2}| + C(j, 3). where C(j, 3) is the binomial coefficient A000292(j).

a(n) = Sum_{d|n} A101605(d). - Antti Karttunen, Jul 23 2017

EXAMPLE

a(60) = 3 because of all the divisors of 60 only these three are terms of A014612: 12 = 2 * 2 * 3; 20 = 2 * 2 * 5; 30 = 2 * 3 * 5.

MAPLE

isA014612 := proc(n) option remember ; RETURN( numtheory[bigomega](n) = 3) ; end: A101606 := proc(n) a :=0 ; for d in numtheory[divisors](n) do if isA014612(d) then a := a+1 ; fi; od: a ; end: for n from 1 to 120 do printf("%d, ", A101606(n)) ; od: # R. J. Mathar, Jan 27 2009
