Comments

Because of Wilson's theorem A051301(p-1)=p for every prime p. Hence a(n)>0, and since A051301(k)>k, a(n) is actually finite.

The first 18 values of the sequence were calculated with Maple. The others were derived from T. D. Noe's b-file for b051301.txt.

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..105.

Example

a(17)=3 because A051301(15)=A051301(43)=A051301(58)=59, and there are no other occurrences of 59=17th prime number in A051301.

Maple

a:=proc(n) option remember; local k, l, p: p:=ithprime(n): l:=0: for k from 0 to p-2 do if A051301(k)=p then l:=l+1; fi; od; l+1; end;

Mathematica
