Comments

The greatest prime factor is counted with multiplicity (see the example).

a(n)=1 iff n^2 + 1 is prime.

Example

a(7)=4 because 7^2 + 1 = 50 and 5 is 4 times a factor:
2^2+1 = 5;
3^2+1 = 10 = 2*5;
7^2+1 = 50 = 2*5*5 (two times).

Maple

with(numtheory): with(padic, ordp):
f:= proc(n) local p , q, n0;
  q:=factorset(n^2+1); n0:=nops(q); p:= q[n0];
  add(ordp(k^2+1, p), k=1..n);
end proc:
seq(f(n), n=1.. 100);
