%N a(n) = the greatest non-divisor h of n (1 < h < n), or 0 if no such h exists.
%C From _Paul Curtz_, Feb 09 2015: (Start)
%C The nonnegative numbers with 0 instead of 1. See A254667(n), which is linked to the Bernoulli numbers A164555(n)/A027642(n), an autosequence of the second kind.
%C Offset 0 could be chosen.
%C An autosequence of the second kind is a sequence whose main diagonal is the first upper diagonal multiplied by 2. If the first upper diagonal is
%C s0, s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, ...,
%C the sequence is
%C Ssk(n) = 2*s0, s0, s0 + 2*s1, s0 +3*s1, s0 + 4*s1 + 2*s2, s1 + 5*s1 + 5*s2, etc.
%C The corresponding coefficients are A034807(n), a companion to A011973(n).
%C The binomial transform of Ssk(n) is (-1)^n*Ssk(n).
%C Difference table of a(n):
%C 0, 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ...
%C 0, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, ...
%C 2, -1, 0, 0, 0, 0 ...
%C -3, 1, 0, 0, 0, ...
%C 4, -1, 0, 0, ...
%C -5, 1, 0, ...
%C 6, -1, ...
%C 7, ...
%C etc.
%C a(n) is an autosequence of the second kind. See A054977(n).
%C The corresponding autosequence of the first kind (a companion) is 0, 0 followed by the nonnegative numbers (A001477(n)). Not in the OEIS.
%C Ssk(n) = 2*Sfk(n+1) - Sfk(n) where Sfk(n) is the corresponding sequence of the first kind (see A254667(n)).
