FORMULA
G.f.: (Sum_{i>=1} x^prime(i))*(x + Sum_{j>=2} sgn(omega(j)-1)*mu(j)^2*x^j), where omega(j) is the number of distinct primes dividing j (A001221) and mu(j) is the Moebius function (A008683).
EXAMPLE
a(17) = 4 because we have [15, 2], [14, 3], [11, 6] and [10, 7].
MATHEMATICA
nmax = 107; CoefficientList[Series[(Sum[x^Prime[i], {i, 1, nmax}]) (x + Sum[Sign[PrimeNu[j] - 1] MoebiusMu[j]^2 x^j, {j, 2, nmax}]), {x, 0, nmax}], x]
PROG
(MATLAB)
N = 200; % to get a(0) to a(N)
Primes = primes(N);
B = zeros(1, N);
B(Primes) = 1;
LPrimes = Primes(Primes .^ 2 < N);
SF = 1 - B;
for p = LPrimes
SF(p^2:p^2:N) = 0;
end
C = conv(SF, B);
C = [0, 0, C(1:N-1)] % Robert Israel, Feb 12 2017
