%N Numbers whose divisors increase by a factor of 3 or less.

%C The polymath8 project led by Terry Tao refers to these numbers as "3-densely divisible". In general they say that n is y-densely divisible if its divisors increase by a factor of y or less, or equivalently, if for every R with 1 <= R <= n, there is a divisor in the interval [R/y,R]. They use this as a weakening of the condition that n be y-smooth. - _David S. Metzler_, Jul 02 2013

%C Let D(x) denote the number of such integers up to x. D(x) has order of magnitude x/log(x) (See Saias 1997). Moreover, we have D(x) = c*x/log(x) + O(x/(log(x))^2), where c = 2.05544... (See Weingartner 2015, 2019). As a result, a(n) = C*n*log(n*log(n)) + O(n), where C = 1/c = 0.486513... - _Andreas Weingartner_, Jun 25 2021

%e 14 is not a term because its divisors are 1,2,7,14, and the gap from 2 to 7 is more than a factor of 3. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Aug 03 2015
