%C Conjecture: for n > 1, 4 divides a(n) iff n == 0 (mod 3), otherwise A007814(a(n)) = 1.

%C Conjecture is true (proof by mathematical induction). - _Robert Israel_, Feb 25 2020

%C Given the generating triangle of A176528, replace k's with prime(k); then take powers of the triangle resulting in a left-shifted vector considered as a sequence.

%C First few rows of the generating triangle M for this sequence:

%C 1;

%C 2;

%C 2, 1;

%C 0, 3;

%C 0, 3, 1;

%C 0, 0, 5;

%C 0, 0, 5, 1;

%C 0, 0, 0, 7;

%C 0, 0, 0, 7, 1;

%C 0, 0, 0, 0, 11;

%C 0, 0, 0, 0, 11, 1;

%C 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 13;

%C 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 13, 1;

%C 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 17;

%C ...

%C Then sequence is Lim_{n->inf} M^n, the left-shifted vector considered as a sequence.

%e a(10) = 110 = prime(5) * a(5) = 11 * 10.

%e a(7) = 26 = prime(3) * 4 + 6 = 5 * 4 + 6.

%e 4 divides a(9) = 52 since 9 == 0 mod 3.

%e 2 divides a(13) = 286 but not 4 since 13 == 1 mod 3.

%o (PARI) a(n) = if(n==1,1, if (n % 2, a(n\2+1)+a(n\2)*prime(n\2), a(n/2)*prime(n/2))); \\ _Michel Marcus_, Dec 25 2020
