EXAMPLE
For n=9, its first arithmetic derivative is A003415(9) = 6, its second derivative is A003415(6) = 5, and its third derivative is A003415(5) = 1, and 1 is a squarefree number (in A005117), thus 9 is included in this sequence. For n=14, A003415(14) = 9, A003415(9) = 6, A003415(6) = 5, and 5, like all primes, is a squarefree number, thus 14 is included in this sequence. For n=49, A003415(49) = 14, A003415(14) = 9, A003415(9) = 6 = 2*3, and 6 is a squarefree number, thus 49 is included in this sequence.

COMMENTS
Can be extended to negative numbers by defining a(-n) = -a(n).
Based on the product rule for differentiation of functions: for functions f(x) and g(x), (fg)' = f'g + fg'. So with numbers, (ab)' = a'b + ab'. This implies 1' = 0. - Kerry Mitchell, Mar 18 2004 The derivative of a number x with respect to a prime number p as being the number "dx/dp" = (x-x^p)/p, which is an integer due to Fermat's little theorem. - Alexandru Buium, Mar 18 2004
The relation (ab)' = a'b + ab' implies 1' = 0, but it does not imply p' = 1 for p a prime. In fact, any function f defined on the primes can be extended uniquely to a function on the integers satisfying this relation: f(Product_i p_i^e_i) = (Product_i p_i^e_i) * (Sum_i e_i*f(p_i)/p_i). - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Nov 07 2006 Let n be the product of a multiset P of k primes. Consider the k-dimensional box whose edges are the elements of P. Then the (k-1)-dimensional surface of this box is 2*a(n). For example, 2*a(25) = 20, the perimeter of a 5 X 5 square. Similarly, 2*a(18) = 42, the surface area of a 2 X 3 X 3 box. - David W. Wilson, Mar 11 2011 The arithmetic derivative n' was introduced, probably for the first time, by the Spanish mathematician José Mingot Shelly in June 1911 with "Una cuestión de la teoría de los números", work presented at the "Tercer Congreso Nacional para el Progreso de las Ciencias, Granada", cf. link to the abstract on Zentralblatt MATH, and L. E. Dickson, History of the Theory of Numbers. - Giorgio Balzarotti, Oct 19 2013 Sequence A157037 lists numbers with prime arithmetic derivative, i.e., indices of primes in this sequence. - M. F. Hasler, Apr 07 2015 Maybe the simplest "natural extension" of the arithmetic derivative, in the spirit of the above remark by Franklin T. Adams-Watters (2006), is the "pi based" version where f(p) = primepi(p), see sequence A258851. When f is chosen to be the identity map (on primes), one gets A066959. - M. F. Hasler, Jul 13 2015 When n is composite, it appears that a(n) has lower bound 2*sqrt(n), with equality when n is the square of a prime, and a(n) has upper bound (n/2)*log_2(n), with equality when n is a power of 2. - Daniel Forgues, Jun 22 2016 If n = p1*p2*p3*... where p1, p2, p3, ... are all the prime factors of n (not necessarily distinct), and h is a real number (we assume h nonnegative and < 1), the arithmetic derivative of n is equivalent to n' = lim_{h->0} ((p1+h)*(p2+h)*(p3+h)*... - (p1*p2*p3*...))/h. It also follows that the arithmetic derivative of a prime is 1. We could assume h = 1/N, where N is an integer; then the limit becomes {N -> oo}. Note that n = 1 is not a prime and plays the role of constant. - Giorgio Balzarotti, May 01 2023

FORMULA
If n = Product p_i^e_i, a(n) = n * Sum (e_i/p_i).
a(n) = n * Sum_{p|n} v_p(n)/p, where v_p(n) is the largest power of the prime p dividing n. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jul 12 2015 For n >= 2, Sum_{k=2..n} floor(1/a(k)) = pi(n) = A000720(n) (see K. T. Atanassov article). - Ivan N. Ianakiev, Mar 22 2019 Limit_{n -> oo} (1/n^2)*Sum_{i=1..n} a(i) = A136141/2. Limit_{n -> oo} (1/n)*Sum_{i=1..n} a(i)/i = A136141. a(n) = n if and only if n = p^p, where p is a prime number. (End)
If n is not a prime, then a(n) >= 2*sqrt(n), or in other words, for all k >= 1 for which A002620(n)+k is not a prime, we have a( A002620(n)+k) > n. [See Ufnarovski and Åhlander, Theorem 9, point (3).] (End)
EXAMPLE
6' = (2*3)' = 2'*3 + 2*3' = 1*3 + 2*1 = 5.
Note that, for example, 2' + 3' = 1 + 1 = 2, (2+3)' = 5' = 1. So ' is not linear.
G.f. = x^2 + x^3 + 4*x^4 + x^5 + 5*x^6 + x^7 + 12*x^8 + 6*x^9 + 7*x^10 + ...

Equivalently, solutions to n'' = 1, since n' = 1 iff n is prime. Twice the lesser of the twin primes, 2* A001359 = A108605, are a subsequence. - M. F. Hasler, Apr 07 2015 All terms are squarefree, because if there would be a prime p whose square p^2 would divide n, then A003415(n) = ( A003415(p^2) * (n/p^2)) + (p^2 * A003415(n/p^2)) = p*[(2 * (n/p^2)) + (p * A003415(n/p^2))], which certainly is not a prime. - Antti Karttunen, Oct 10 2019

COMMENTS
This sequence relates to the question whether A327969(128) has a positive integer value, or whether it is -1 by the escape clause. Note that when iterating the map k -> k' from A276086( A369638(4)) = A276086(15232) = 3299611946113357875 onward, the maximal exponent in the prime factorization ( A051903) keeps on decreasing until it reaches 1 at the fifth iteration, and then stays as 1 for three more iterations (with k then 38863666759992439 = 643*60441161368573), but then, alas, on the next iteration, k' = 60441161369216 = 2^7 * 472196573197.
EXAMPLE
The third arithmetic derivative ( A099306) of 128 is 5056, which in primorial base ( A049345) is written as 220220, therefore a(3) = 2. The fourth arithmetic derivative ( A258644) of 128 is 15232, which in primorial base is written as 663320, therefore a(4) = 6.
