Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
In the covering case, these degree sequences, sorted in decreasing order, are the same thing as loop-graphical partitions (A339656). An integer partition is loop-graphical if it comprises the multiset of vertex-degrees of some graph with loops, where a loop is an edge with two equal vertices.
The following are equivalent characteristics for any positive integer n:
(1) the prime indices of n can be partitioned into distinct pairs, i.e. into a set of loops and edges;
(2) n can be factored into distinct semiprimes;
(3) the prime signature of n is loop-graphical.
EXAMPLE
The a(0) = 1 through a(3) = 16 sorted degree sequences:
() (0) (0,0) (0,0,0)
(2) (0,2) (0,0,2)
(1,1) (0,1,1)
(1,3) (0,1,3)
(2,2) (0,2,2)
(3,3) (0,3,3)
(1,1,2)
(1,1,4)
(1,2,3)
(1,3,4)
(2,2,2)
(2,2,4)
(2,3,3)
(2,4,4)
(3,3,4)
(4,4,4)
For example, the loop-graphs
{{1,1},{2,2},{3,3},{1,2}}
{{1,1},{2,2},{3,3},{1,3}}
{{1,1},{2,2},{3,3},{2,3}}
{{1,1},{2,2},{1,3},{2,3}}
{{1,1},{3,3},{1,2},{2,3}}
{{2,2},{3,3},{1,2},{1,3}}
all have degrees y = (3,3,2), so y is counted under a(3).
