f n=sum$do a<-[1..n];mapM(pure[0..a])[1..n]!!n

Try it online!

Explanation

The function b n -> mapM(pure[0..b])[1..n], generates all strings $[0 dotsc b]^n$ in lexicographic order. For example:

mapM(pure[0..2])[0..1] == [[0,0],[0,1],[0,2],[1,0],[1,1],[1,2],[2,0],[2,1],[2,2]]

By indexing into it with (!!n) this can be used to convert n to base b+1, however this won't work for unary (base-$1$), but we're summing the results.. We can even save some bytes with a <- [1..n] and using base-$(n+1)$ rather than a work-around for base-$1$ since we're missing $[underset{ntext{ times}}{underbrace{1,dotsc,1}}]$ which is the same as $[n]$ when summing.

Using do-notation just concatenates all the lists instead of nesting them:

λ [ mapM (pure [0..a]) [1..5] !! n | a <- [1..5] ]

[[0,0,1,0,1],[0,0,0,1,2],[0,0,0,1,1],[0,0,0,1,0],[0,0,0,0,5]]



λ do a <- [1..5]; mapM (pure [0..a]) [1..5] !! n

[0,0,1,0,1,0,0,0,1,2,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,5]

lambda n:sum(n/(k/n+2)**(k%n)%(k/n+2)for k in range(n*n))

This uses the formula $$a(n)=sum_{b=2}^{n+1}sum_{i=0}^{n-1}leftlfloorfrac{n}{b^i}rightrfloorbmod b,$$ which works since $leftlfloorfrac{n}{(n+1)^0}rightrfloorbmod(n+1)=n$.

+/∘∊⊢,⊢(⍴⊤⊣)¨⍳

Try it online!

Explanation

Some parentheses are implied and can be added (lighter than the "official" parenthesizing):

+/∘∊(⊢,(⊢(⍴⊤⊣)¨⍳))

This is a monadic atop. Given an argument Y, this function behaves like:

+/∘∊(⊢,(⊢(⍴⊤⊣)¨⍳))Y

The two functions are applied in order. We'll start from the right one:

⊢,(⊢(⍴⊤⊣)¨⍳)

The are three functions in this train, so this is a fork. Given an argument Y, it acts as:

(⊢Y),((⊢Y)(⍴⊤⊣)¨⍳Y)

We can easily reduce to this (monadic ⊢ returns its argument, hence called identity):

Y,Y(⍴⊤⊣)¨⍳Y

Now, we know that Y is an integer (simple scalar, i.e. number or character), since we're given one. Therefore ⍳Y, with ⎕IO=1, returns 1 2 ... Y. ⍳Y actually returns an array with shape Y (Y must be a vector), where every scalar is the index of itself in the array (that's why monadic ⍳ is called the index generator). These indices are vectors, except for the case where 1≡⍴Y, where they are scalars (this is our case).

Let's parse the middle function, (⍴⊤⊣)¨, next. ⍴⊤⊣ is the operand of ¨ (each), and the function is dyadic, so the ¨ operator will first reshape each length-1 argument to the shape of the other (that is, take the element and use it to replace every scalar in the other argument), and then apply the function to each pair of the two arguments. In this case, ⍳Y is a vector and Y is a scalar, so, if n≡⍴⍳Y, then Y will be converted to n⍴Y (⍴ represents the shape (monadic) and reshape (dyadic) functions). That is, in simpler terms, Y will be converted to an array containing Y times Y.

Now, for each pair, let's call the left argument X and the right Z (so that we don't conflict with the input Y). ⍴⊤⊣ is a dyadic fork, so it will expand to:

(X⍴Z)⊤X⊣Z

Let's make the easy first step of reducing X⊣Z to X (dyadic ⊣ is the left function):

(X⍴Z)⊤X

The ⍴ in X⍴Z is, again, the reshape function, so X⍴Z, in our case, is simply X times Z. ⊤ is the encode function. Given two arrays of numbers, where the left array is the base of each digit in the result (doesn't need to be integer or positive), i.e. the encoding, and the right is an array of numbers, returns the transposed array of those numbers in the specified encoding (transposition is the reversal of an array's dimensions relative to its elements). The representation of a digit is based on the quotient of the division of the number and the product of the less significant bases. If any base is 0, it acts as base +∞. The arguments' scalars are all simple. Since X is a positive integer, and X⍴Z is a vector of equal elements, this is really just a case of converting X to base Z and reshaping to X digits. For $X,Zinmathbb N$, $X_Z$ ($X$ in base $Z$) can't have more than $X$ digits, since $X_1$ has $X$ digits. Therefore, X⍴Z is enough for our purposes.

The result of Y(⍴⊤⊣)¨⍳Y is, therefore, Y converted to each base from 1 to Y, possibly with leading zeroes. However, there is one issue: in APL, base 1 isn't special-cased, while this challenge does special-case it, so we have to include the sum of the base-1 digits of Y ourselves. Fortunately, this sum is just Y, since $Y_1=underbrace{[1,1,...,1]}_Y$, so the sum is simply $Ytimes1=Y$. It follows that we have to add Y somewhere into the array. This is how we do it:

Y,Y(⍴⊤⊣)¨⍳Y

I have already included this part here. Dyadic , is the catenate function, it concatenates its arguments on their last axes, and errors if that's not possible. Here, we simply concatenate the scalar Y to the vector Y(⍴⊤⊣)¨⍳Y, so that we increment the sum we're going to calculate by Y, as explained above.

The final part is the left function of our atop, +/∘∊:

+/∘∊Y,Y(⍴⊤⊣)¨⍳Y

∘ is the compose operator. f∘g Y is the same as f g Y. However, we're using it here so that our train doesn't fork on the ∊. So, we can reduce:

+/∊Y,Y(⍴⊤⊣)¨⍳Y

Now, it's time for the sum, but wait... there's a problem. The array isn't flat, so we can't just sum its elements before flattening it first. The enlist function ∊ flattens an array. Now that the array has been flattened, we finally use +/ to sum it. / is the reduce operator, it applies a dyadic function between an array's elements on its second-to-last axis, with right-to-left priority. If the rank (number of dimensions, i.e. length of shape) of the array doesn't decrease, the array is then enclosed, although this is not the case here. The function that's applied here is +, which is the plus function that adds the pairs on the last axes of two arrays (and errors if the arrays can't be added like that). Here, it simply adds two numbers a number of times so that the reduce is completed.

Lo and behold, our train:

Explanation:

LвOO+  //Full program

L      //push [1 .. input]

 в     //for each element b, push digits of input converted to base b

  O    //sum each element

   O   //sum each sum

    +  //add input

In 05AB1E (legacy), base 1 of 5 is [0,0,0,0,0], not [1,1,1,1,1]. Therefore after summing the range, add the input to account for the missing base 1.

I am using 05AB1E (legacy) because in current 05AB1E, base 1 of 5 is [1]. In order to account for this, I would either need to decrement the result by 1 or remove the first element of the range, both of which would cost 1 byte.

Fails for n>143 since 144^144 is larger than a double can get. Thanks to Josh Eller for suggesting replacing log(n,i) with simply n.

function(n){if(n-1)for(i in 2:n)F=F+sum(n%/%i^(0:log(n,i))%%i)

n+F}

Try it online!

Uses the classic n%/%i^(0:log(n,i))%%i method to extract the base-i digits for n for each base b>1, then sums them and accumulates the sum in F, which is initialized to 0, then adding n (the base 1 representation of n) to F and returning the result. For n=1, it skips the bases and simply adds n to F.

Though this is longer the Dennis's solution off which it's based, I find the method too amusing to not share.

The goal is to recurse both on lopping off the last digit n->n/b and incrementing the base b->b+1, but we want to prevent the base from being increased after one or more digits have been lopped off. This is achieved by make the base b a float, so that after the update n->n//b, the float b infects n with its floatness. In this way, whether n is a float or not is a bit-flag for whether we've removed any digits from n.

We require that the condition 1/n==0 is met to recurse into incrementing b, which integers n satisfy because floor division is done, but floats fails. (n=1 also fails but we don't want to recurse on it anyway.) Otherwise, floats work just like integers in the function because we're careful to do floor division n//b, and the output is a whole-number float.
