COMMENT
|
A pseudo-logarithmic function in the sense that a(b*c) = a(b)+a(c) and so a(b^c) = c*a(b) and f(n) = k^a(n) is a multiplicative function. Essentially a function from the positive integers onto the partitions of the nonnegative integers (1->0, 2->1, 3->2, 4->1+1, 5->3, 6->1+2 etc.) so each value a(n) appears A000041(a(n)) times, first with the a(n)th prime and last with the a(n)th power of 2. Produces triangular numbers from primorials. - Henry Bottomley (se16(AT)btinternet.com), Nov 22 2001
Michael Nyvang writes (May 08 2006) that the Danish composer Karl Aage Rasmussen discovered this sequence in the 1990's: it has excellent musical properties.

FORMULA
|
Totally additive with a(p) = PrimePi(p), where PrimePi(n) = A000720(n).
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
a(12) = 1*2 + 2*1 = 4, since 12 = 2^2 *3^1 = (p_1)^2 *(p_2)^1.
