FORMULA

Conjectures: for n>1, log(n) < a(n) < (5/2)*log(n); lim n ->infinity sum(k=1, n, a(k))/(n*log(n)-n) = C = 1.8(4)... - Benoit Cloitre, Oct 30 2002.

PROGRAM

(PARI) oo=200; an=vector(oo); a(n)=an[n]; for(n=2, oo, an[n]=if(isprime(n), 1+a(n-1), sumdiv(n, p, if(isprime(p), a(p)*valuation(n, p))))); for(n=1, 100, print1(a(n)", "))

CROSSREFS

Similar to A061373 which uses the same recurrence relation but a(1) = 1.

Cf. A003313, A076142, A076091, A061373, A005245.
