Amiram Eldar, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000
FORMULA
Multiplicative with a(p^e) = 1 if e < p, and a(p^e) = e+1 if e >= p.
a(n) >= 1, with equality if and only if n is in A048103.
Dirichlet g.f.: zeta(s)^2 * Product_{p prime} (1 - 1/p^s + 1/p^(p*s-1) + 1/p^((p+1)*s) - 1/p^((p+1)*s-1)).
Asymptotic mean: Limit_{m->oo} (1/m) * Sum_{k=1..m} a(k) = Product_{p prime} (1 + (1 + (p-1)*p)/((p-1)*p^p)) = 1.98019019497523582894... .
MATHEMATICA
f[p_, e_] := If[e < p, 1, e+1]; a[1] = 1; a[n_] := Times @@ f @@@ FactorInteger[n]; Array[a, 100]
PROG
(PARI) a(n) = {my(f = factor(n)); prod(i = 1, #f~, if(f[i, 2] < f[i, 1], 1, f[i, 2]+1)); }
