Formula

Let PrimePi(x) denote the number of primes <= x (cf. A000720). Then 2*a(n) = Sum_{ primes p <= n/2 } PrimePi(n/p) + PrimePi(sqrt(n)). [Landau, p. 211]

Let PrimePi(x) denote the number of primes <= x (cf. A000720). Then a(n) = Sum_{i=1..PrimePi(sqrt(n))} (PrimePi(n/prime(i)) - i + 1). - Robert G. Wilson v, Feb 07 2006

a(n) = card { x <= n : bigomega(x) = 2 }.

Asymptotically a(n) ~ n*log(log(n))/log(n). [Landau, p. 211]

Let A be a positive integer. Then card { x <= n : bigomega(x) = A } ~ (n/log(n))*log(log(n))^(A-1)/(A-1)! [Landau, p. 211]

a(n) = A072613(n) + A056811(n). - R. J. Mathar, Jun 10 2007

a(n) = Sum_{i=1..n} A064911(i). - Jonathan Vos Post, Dec 30 2007

a(n)*A064911(n) = A174956(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Apr 03 2010
