A115387 a(1) = 1. For n >= 2, a(n) = sum of the two (not necessarily distinct) earlier terms, a(j) and a(k), which maximizes d(a(j)+a(k)), where d(m) is the number of positive divisors of m. a(n) = the minimum (a(j)+a(k)) if more than one such sum has the maximum number of divisors. 1

COMMENTS

In A115386 the maximum (a(j)+a(k)) is taken in case of a tie.

EXAMPLE

Sequence begins 1, 1, 2, 4. Now d(1+1) = 2, d(1+2) = 2, d(1+4) = 2, d(2+2) = 3, d(2+4) = 4, d(4+4)=4. So d(2+4) and d(4+4) are tied for the maximum number of divisors of a sum of two earlier terms of the sequence. But we want the minimum sum among these two values. So a(5) = 2+4 = 6.

PROG

(PARI) {print1(b=1, ", "); v=[b]; for(n=2, 35, dsmax=0; smin=0; for(j=1, #v, for(k=j, #v, s=v[j]+v[k]; d=numdiv(s); if(dsmax==d, smin=min(smin, s), if(dsmax<(d), dsmax=d; smin=s)))); print1(smin, ", "); v=concat(v, smin))}
