%N Number of distinct prime factors in Lucas(n).

%C Interestingly, the Lucas numbers separate the primes into three disjoint sets: (A053028) primes that do not divide any Lucas number, (A053027) primes that divide Lucas numbers of even index and (A053032) primes that divide Lucas numbers of odd index.
