tau(k) <= tau(k+1) <= ... <= tau(k+n-1).

a(16) > 10^12. - Donovan Johnson, Oct 13 2009

a(17) > 10^13. - Giovanni Resta, Apr 12 2017

a(19) > 2.64*10^15. - Jud McCranie, Mar 27 2019

If a(n) > 1, then A013632(a(n)) >= n. Might be useful to help speed up brute force search. - Chai Wah Wu, May 04 2017

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..18.

Example

a(5) = 241 = a(6) as tau(241) = 2 < tau(242) = tau(243) = tau(244) = tau(245) = 6 < tau(246).

Mathematica

k = 1; Do[ While[t = Table[ DivisorSigma[0, i], {i, k, k + n - 1}]; t != Sort[t], k++ ]; Print[k], {n, 1, 11}]
