COMMENTS

Most terms are primes. These are numbers with few factors which are sandwiched between numbers with many factors. Terms <379 are same as those of A090481.

EXAMPLE

tau(16)*tau(18)/tau(17)^2 = 5*6/2^2 = 15/2 and this is larger than for any n < 17, so 17 is in the sequence.

MAPLE

f := x -> tau(x-1)*tau(x+1)/tau(x)^2:?print m := 1: A := []: for k from 2 to 10^6 do if f(k) > m then m := f(k): A := [op(A), [k, f(k)]]: fi; od;
