COMMENT

A prime factor of Lucas(n) is called primitive if it does not divide Lucas(r) for any r < n. It can be shown that there is at least one primitive prime factor for n > 6. When n is prime, all the prime factors of Lucas(n) are primitive.

FORMULA

a(n) = Sum{d|n and n/d odd} mu(n/d) A086600(d) -1 if 6|n and n/6 is a power of 2.

EXAMPLE

a(22) = 2 because Lucas(22) = 3*43*307 and neither 43 nor 307 divide a smaller Lucas number.

MATHEMATICA

Lucas[n_] := Fibonacci[n+1] + Fibonacci[n-1]; pLst={}; Join[{0}, Table[f=Transpose[FactorInteger[Lucas[n]]][[1]]; f=Complement[f, pLst]; cnt=Length[f]; pLst=Union[pLst, f]; cnt, {n, 2, 150}]]

CROSSREFS
