If n>2, then a(n!)>max(a(n),a(n!-1)), as (n!)!=n!*(n!-1)!. Similarly, a(A001013(n))> 0 for n>2. Clearly a(n)=0 if n is a prime A000040. So a(n+1)=1 if n=2^p-1 is a Mersenne prime A000668, as (n+1)!=(2!)^p*n! and n is prime. - Jonathan Sondow (jsondow(AT)alumni.princeton.edu), Dec 15 2004 %D A034876 R. K.
