Can be formulated as a maximum independent set problem and solved using integer linear programming: maximize Sum_{i=1..n} x(i) subject to x(i) + x(j) <= 1 for all i < j with lcm(i,j) > n, x(i) in {0,1} for all i. - Rob Pratt, Feb 08 2010
First differs from A070319 when n = 336, due to the set of 21 elements {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 21, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48} where each pair of elements has lcm <= 336, while no positive integer <= 336 has more than 20 divisors. Therefore A068509(336) = 21 and A070319(336) = 20. - William Rex Marshall, Sep 11 2012
