%N a(n) = j such that i^j is maximized subject to i+j = n (i >= 0, j >= 0).

%C For n = 2, there is not a unique maximum because 2^0 = 1^1; we choose j = 0. - _T. D. Noe_, Apr 08 2014

%H T. D. Noe, <a href="/A125229/b125229.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000</a>

%e If the sum is 5, the powers are: 0^5, 1^4, 2^3, 3^2, 4^1 and 5^0. The highest is 3^2 so a(5) = 2.
