COMMENTS

These numbers agree with the asymptotic formula c*sqrt(x), with c=2.1732...(A090699). - T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com), May 09 2006

Filaseta & Trifonov write that a result of Bateman & Grosswald (1958) implies that the asymptotic expansion of the number of powerful numbers up to x is zeta(3/2)/zeta(3) * x^1/2 + zeta(2/3)/zeta(2) * x^1/3 + o(x^1/6). This approximates the series very closely: up to a(24), all absolute errors are less than 75. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Sep 23 2008
