COMMENTS

For prime powers there is only one solution. For integers with prime signature p1^2 * p2 there's exactly one solution, for p1^4 * p2 there are two and in general for p1^(2k) * p2 there are A000108(k) solutions. - Mitch Harris (Harris.Mitchell (AT) mgh.harvard.edu), Apr 27 2006.

EXAMPLE

In other words, the number of ways to arrange the divisors of n in such a way that no divisor has any of its own divisors following it AND the divisors d_i, d_j, d_k, etc. are arranged so that values bigomega(d_i) (cf. A001222), bigomega(d_j), bigomega(d_k) are alternatively even and odd. E.g. a(12)=1, as of the five arrangements shown in A114717, here only allowed is 1,2,4,3,6,12, with A001222(1)=0, A001222(2)=1, A001222(4)=2, A001222(3)=1, A001222(6)=2, A001222(12)=3. a(36) = 2, as there are two solutions for 36: 1,2,4,3,6,12,9,18,36 and 1,3,9,2,6,18,4,12,36.

CROSSREFS

a(n) <= A114717(n). Cf. A119844, A119846, A119847, A119849.
