COMMENTS

a(n) = A001221(n) - 1 + A056170(n) for n>1;

a(n) = 0 iff n=1 or n is prime: a(A008578(n)) = 0;

a(n) = 1 iff n is a semiprime or a prime power p^e with e>1.

It is conjectured that 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,9,11 are the only positive integers which cannot be represented as the sum of two elements of indices n such that a(n) = 1. - Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost3(AT)gmail.com), Sep 11 2005

a(n) = 2 iff n is a sphenic number (A007304) or n is a prime p times a prime power q^e with e>1 and q not equal to p. a(n) = 3 iff n has exactly four distinct prime factors (A046386); or n is the product of two prime powers (p^e)*(q^f) with e>1, f>1 and p not equal to q; or n is a semiprime s times a prime power r^g with g>1 and r relatively prime to s. For a(n) > 3, Reinhard Zumkeller's description is a simpler description than the above compound descriptions. - Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost3(AT)gmail.com), Sep 11 2005
