A278168 a(n) = number of integers one less than a prime encountered before reaching 0 when starting from k = ((n+1)^2)-1 and iterating map k -> k - A002828(k). 4

%N a(n) = number of integers one less than a prime encountered before reaching 0 when starting from k = ((n+1)^2)-1 and iterating map k -> k - A002828(k).

%H Antti Karttunen, <a href="/A278168/b278168.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000</a>

%F a(1) = A277488(1); for n > 1, a(n) = A277488(n) + a(n-1).

%e For n=4, starting from k = ((4+1)^2)-1, and iterating k -> A255131(k), yields 24 -> 21 -> 18 -> 16 -> 15 -> 11 -> 8 -> 6 -> 3 before 0 is reached. Subtracting one from each gives [25, 22, 19, 17, 16, 12, 9, 7, 4], of which only 19, 17, and 7 are primes, thus a(4) = 3.
