COMMENT

I am using a(-2)=a(-1)=a(0)=0, a(1)=1 here. Prime tribonacci numbers: a(3)=2, a(7)=29, a(11)=401, a(12)=773, ... Semiprime tribonacci numbers: a(4)=4, a(6)=15, a(16) = 10671 = 3 * 3557, a(17) = 20569 = 67 * 307, a(21) = 283953 = 3 * 94651, a(22) = 547337 = 7 * 78191, a(27) = 14564533 = 491 * 29663, a(31) = 201061985 = 5 * 40212397

FORMULA

a(n) = A001222(A000078(n)). a(n) = bigomega(A000078(n)).

EXAMPLE

a(1)=a(2)=0 because the first two nonzero tetranacci numbers are both 1, which has zero prime divisors.

a(3)=1 because the 3rd nonzero tetranacci number is 2, a prime, with only one prime divisor.

a(4)=2 because the 4th nonzero tetranacci number is 4 = 2^2 which has (with multiplicity) 2 prime divisors (which happen to be equal).

a(5)=3 because the 5th nonzero tetranacci number is 8 = 2^3.

a(6)=2 the 6th nonzero tetranacci number is 15 = 3*5, a semiprime, with two prime divisors.
