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. [Cf. A248692 for example.] 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, 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.
All A000041(a(n)) different n's with the same value a(n) are listed in row a(n) of triangle A215366. - Alois P. Heinz, Aug 09 2012
a(n) is the sum of the parts of the partition having Heinz number n. We define the Heinz number of a partition p = [p_1, p_2, ..., p_r] as Product_{j=1..r} (p_j-th prime) (concept used by Alois P. Heinz in A215366 as an "encoding" of a partition). For example, for the partition [1, 1, 2, 4, 10] we get 2*2*3*7*29 = 2436. Example: a(33) = 7 because the partition with Heinz number 33 = 3 * 11 is [2,5]. - Emeric Deutsch, May 19 2015

EXAMPLE
a(12) = 1*2 + 2*1 = 4, since 12 = 2^2 *3^1 = (p_1)^2 *(p_2)^1.
