Is a(n) asymptotic to c*n with 9<c<10 ? - Benoit Cloitre, Sep 07 2002

Let S = {(n, a(n): n is a positive integer < 2*10^5}, where a(n) is the above sequence. The best-fit (least squares) line through S has equation y = 9.63976 x - 1453.76. S is very linear: the square of the correlation coefficient of {n} and {a(n)} is about 0.999943. - Joseph L. Pe (joseph_l_pe(AT)hotmail.com), May 15 2003

I conjecture the contrary: the sequence is superlinear. Perhaps a(n) ~ n log log n. [Charles R Greathouse IV, Aug 17 2011]
