(Greetings from The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences!)
A064797 Largest integer m such that every permutation (p_1, ..., p_n) of (1, ..., n) satisfies lcm(p_i, p_{i+1}) >= m for some i, 1 <= i <= n, where p_{n+1} = p_1. 4

COMMENTS

Testing a trial value of a(n) is equivalent to searching for a Hamilton cycle in the appropriate graph. - Martin Fuller (martin_n_fuller(AT)btinternet.com), Jul 30 2006

FORMULA

For n >= 3, a(n) >= A073818(pi(n)+1), with equality for 17 <= n <= 250 - Martin Fuller (martin_n_fuller(AT)btinternet.com), Jul 30 2006

EXAMPLE

n=4: we must arrange the numbers 1..4 in a circle so that the max of the lcm of pairs of adjacent terms is minimized. The answer is 1423, with max lcm = 6, so a(4) = 6.
