COMMENTS
Numbers n have A000586(n) decompositions into sums of distinct primes and occur A000586(n) times in A089625. The sequence is the rightmost (largest) index (position) of n in A089625. It is an inverse of A089625 made unique in the sense that in the prime decomposition of n the one with the largest primes are chosen and converted to binary. The sequence therefore is a binary representation of a greedy decomposition of n into a sum of primes.
FORMULA
A089625(a(n))=n if n not equal to 1, 4 and 6.
EXAMPLE
Prime decompositions of n=25 are 1*11+1*7+1*5+0*3+1*2 (binary tagged 11101=29)
or 1*13+0*11+1*7+0*5+1*3+1*2 (binary 101011=43) or
1*13+0*11+1*7+1*5+0*3+0*2 (binary 101100=44) or 1*17+0*13+0*11+0*7+1*5+1*3+0*2
(binary 1000110=70) or 1*23+0*19+0*17+0*13+0*11+0*7+0*5+0*3+1*2 (binary 100000001
=257). Out of these indices 29, 43, 44, 70 and 257, the largest is chosen, a(25)=257.
