%N Maximal size of Aut(G) where G is a finite Abelian group of order n.
%C a(n) is multiplicative; if n = p^m is a prime power the maximal size of Aut(G) is attained by the elementary Abelian group G =(C_p)^m and then Aut(G) is GL(m,p) and a(n) = (p^m - 1)*(p^m - p)*...*(p^m - p^(m-1)). For general n the maximum will be for the direct product of the (C_p)^m over the prime powers dividing n and then the automorphism group is the direct product of the GL(m,p).
%C Equivalently, maximal size of Aut(G) where G is a nilpotent group of order n. - _Eric M. Schmidt_, Feb 27 2013
