Conjecture: limit a(n)^(1/n) = L where L = 2.200161058099... is the geometric mean of Luroth expansions, where log(L) = Sum_{n>=1} log(n)/(n*(n+1)) = 0.7885305659115... (cf. A085361).

Compare the definition of a(n) to the exponential series:

exp(n) = 1 + n + n*(n/2) + n*(n/2)*(n/3) + n*(n/2)*(n/3)*(n/4) +...

Formula

a(n) = 1 + Sum_{m=1..n} Product_{k=1..m} floor(n/k).

Example

a(5) = 1 + 5 + 5[5/2] + 5[5/2][5/3] + 5[5/2][5/3][5/4] + 5[5/2][5/3][5/4][5/5] = 1 + 5 + 5*2 + 5*2*1 + 5*2*1*1 + 5*2*1*1*1 = 46.
