Chai Wah Wu, Table of n, a(n) for n = 2..10000
EXAMPLE
a(3)=5 because 5! = 120 is less than (3!)^3 = 216 whereas 6! = 720 > 216.
MAPLE
a:=proc(n) local b: b:=proc(k) if k!<(n!)^n then k else fi end: max(seq(b(k), k=1..2200)) end: seq(a(n), n=2..67); # Emeric Deutsch, Oct 07 2006
MATHEMATICA
s={}; Do[k=1; Until[k!>=(n!)^n, k++]; AppendTo[s, k-1], {n, 2, 54}]; s (* James C. McMahon, Oct 26 2024 *)
