Since d(m) < 2*sqrt(m), we need only test values of m < (2n/d(n))^2.
It was briefly conjectured that this sequence was the same as the highly composite numbers (A002182) larger than 1, but this is false: 30 is crowded but not highly composite and 50400 is highly composite but not crowded. Is every super-abundant number (A004394) crowded?
Additional comments from Roy Maulbogat, Jan 22 2008: (Start) It can easily be shown that all crowded numbers are even and that there is always a crowded number between N and 2N. This allows us to improve the algorithm as follow:
crowded[n_] := Module[{},
* If[OddQ[n], Return [False]];*
div = DivisorSigma[0,n]/n;
For [ *m=n+2, m<=2n, m+=2*, If[
DivisorSigma [0, m] / m<=div, Return [False]]];True];
numlist = Select[Range[1,10^7],crowded]
On second thought, it might be wise to use Min[2n, stop] as the stopping condition of the loop ("stop" being the variable defined in the original algorithm). (End)
