COMMENTS
Sequence A002174 gives the n such that a(n) > 0. Removing the zeros from this sequence produces A002396. Note that some n appear only for large k. For example, 728 does not appear until k=49184. See A143407 for the largest k that produces a particular value of the lambda function. See A143408 for the number of times each value occurs. - T. D. Noe, Mar 17 2011
FORMULA
a(A002174(n)) = A002396(n).
EXAMPLE
a(8) = 32 because lambda(32) = 8.
MAPLE
