COMMENTS
a(n) for n >= 2 equals LCM of minimal and maximal prime power factors in prime factorization of n. For n >= 2 holds: a(n)*A100994(n) = A034684(n)*A034699(n). a(n) for n >= 2 it deviates from A000027(n), first different term is a(30)=a(2*3*5), a(30)=lcm(2,5)=10, A000027(30)= 30. Sequence of deviations from A000027(n): 30,42,60,66,70,78,84,90,...
FORMULA
a(1) = 0, a(p) = p, a(pq) = pq, a(pq...z) = pz, a(p^k) = p^k, for p = primes (A000040), pq = product of two distinct primes (A006881), pq...z = product of k (k > 2) distinct primes p, q, ..., z (A120944), p^k = prime powers (A000961(n) for n > 1), k = natural numbers (A000027).
EXAMPLE
For n = 30 = 2*3*5, a(30) = lcm(2,5) = 10.
