From Marc LeBrun, Dec 12 2001: (Start)

Define a "numbral arithmetic" by replacing addition with binary bitwise inclusive-OR (so that [3] + [5] = [7] etc.) and multiplication becomes shift-&-OR instead of shift-&-add (so that [3] * [3] = [7] etc.). [d] divides [n] means there exists an [e] with [d] * [e] = [n]. For example the six divisors of [14] are [1], [2], [3], [6], [7] and [14]. Then it appears that this sequence gives the number of proper divisors of [2^n-1]. Conjecture confirmed by Richard C. Schroeppel, Dec 14 2001. (End)

The number of "prime endofunctions" on n points, meaning the cardinality of the subset of the A001372(n) mappings (or mapping patterns) up to isomorphism from n (unlabeled) points to themselves (endofunctions) which are neither the sum of prime endofunctions (i.e., whose disjoint connected components are prime endofunctions) nor the categorical product of prime endofunctions. The n for which a(n) is prime (n such that the number of prime endofunctions on n points is itself prime) are 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, 13, 19, ... - Jonathan Vos Post, Nov 19 2006

For n>=1, compositions p(1)+p(2)+...+p(m)=n such that p(k)<=p(1)+1, see example. - Joerg Arndt, Dec 28 2012
