FORMULA
a(n)^A023416(n) = A038573(n) (where a^k denotes the k-th iterate of a).
a(n) <= n with equality iff n belongs to A000225.
EXAMPLE
For n = 6:
- the binary representation of 6 is "110",
- we can split it in 4 ways:
"110" -> "011" -> 3
"1" and "10" -> "1" and "01" -> 5
"11" and "0" -> "11" and "0" -> 6
"1" and "1" and "0" -> "1" and "1" and "0" -> 6
- we have 3 distinct values, the least being 3,
- hence a(6) = 3.
