COMMENTS
The Heinz number of a partition (y_1,...,y_k) is prime(y_1)*...*prime(y_k). This gives a bijective correspondence between positive integers and integer partitions.
Also the number of distinct prime indices x of n such that either x - 1 or x + 1 is also a prime index of n, where a prime index of n is a number x such that prime(x) divides n.
EXAMPLE
The prime indices of 42 are {1,2,4}, of which 1 and 2 have neighbors, so a(42) = 2.
The prime indices of 462 are {1,2,4,5}, all of which have neighbors, so a(462) = 4.
The prime indices of 990 are {1,2,2,3,5}, of which 1, 2, and 3 have neighbors, so a(990) = 3.
The prime indices of 1300 are {1,1,3,3,6}, none of which have neighbors, so a(1300) = 0.
