%e Omega(1..5) = (0, 1, 1, 2, 1), therefore the first run of 4 numbers with nondecreasing Omega (= A001222) starts at a(4) = 1.

%e Omega(4..7) = (2, 1, 2, 1), so the first run of 2 numbers with nondecreasing Omega starts at a(2) = 5.

%e A run of subsequent numbers with nondecreasing Omega is of length 1 if it consists of a single number n with Omega(n-1) > Omega(n) > Omega(n+1) (else n belongs to a run of length >= 2). This happens first for a(1) = 46.

%o (PARI) From _M. F. Hasler_, May 16 2017: (Start)

%o alias('A, 'A286288);\\ A bug in PARI 2.9.2 requires the alias() to be issued on a line on itself.

%o A=vector(19); apply(scan(N, s=1, t=bigomega(s))=for(k=s+1, N, t>(t=bigomega(k))||next; k-s>#A||A[k-s]||printf(" a(%d)=%d, ", k-s, s)||A[k-s]=s; s=k); done, [1e7]) \\ Then the search may be extended using scan(END, START). - (End)
