For n >= 2, a(n) is the largest part minus the number of distinct parts of the partition having Heinz number n. The Heinz number of a partition [i_1, i_2, ..., i_r] is defined as Product_{j=1..r} (i_j-th prime) (concept used by Alois P. Heinz in A215366 as an encoding of a partition). For example, for the partition [1, 1, 1, 4] we get 2*2*2*7 = 56; a(56) = 4 - #{1,4} = 2. - Emeric Deutsch, Jun 09 2015 [edited by Peter Munn, Apr 09 2024]

FORMULA
a(n) = A049084(A006530(n)) - A001221(n) = A061395(n) - A001221(n).
a(n) = 0 iff n = m*prime(k)#, where prime(k)# is the k-th primorial (A002110(k)) and A006530(m) <= A000040(k).
a(A000040(k)) = k - 1.
