Table of n, a(n) for n=1..81.

Formula

a(1) = 0, a(n) = max(A056239(n) - A007814(n), 1). - Charlie Neder, Oct 03 2018

Example

a(30) = 5 because the minimum number that can be obtained starting with (3,2,1) is 3+2*1 = 5.

Mathematica

ReplaceListRepeated[forms_, rerules_]:=Union[Flatten[FixedPointList[Function[pre, Union[Flatten[ReplaceList[#, rerules]&/@pre, 1]]], forms], 1]];
nexos[ptn_]:=If[Length[ptn]==0, {0}, Union@@Select[ReplaceListRepeated[{Sort[ptn]}, {{foe___, x_, mie___, y_, afe___}:>Sort[Append[{foe, mie, afe}, x+y]], {foe___, x_, mie___, y_, afe___}:>Sort[Append[{foe, mie, afe}, x*y]]}], Length[#]==1&]];
