Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Where records occur in A018892.
%C Remarkably similar to but ultimately different from A018894. - Jorg Brown and _N. J. A. Sloane_, Mar 06 2007
%C This sequence represents "where records occur" for a number of sequences in addition to A018892 including the following: A015995, A015996, A015999, A016001, A016002, A016003, A016005, A016006, A016007, A016008, A016009, A048691, A048785, A063647, A117677, A144943. - _Ray Chandler_, Dec 04 2008
%C Subsequence of A025487. - _Ray Chandler_, Sep 05 2008
%C Also record-setting elements of tau(n^2) (just as A002182 gives the record-setting elements of tau(n)). The point is that A018892 is (tau(n^2) + 1)/2. As tau(n^2) is odd, the record-setting elements of A018892 are also the record setting elements of tau(n^2). - Allen Tracht, Jan 20 2009

%o (C++)
%o // This C++ program generates the sequence of n for which A018892 sets a new record. It takes one argument, defaulting to 300, which is the maximum record that it's looking for.
%o int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int limit = (argc != 2) ? 300 : atoi(argv[1]); int maxsol = 0; for (unsigned int n = 2*3*5;; n += 2*3*5) { int numsol = 0; for (uint64_t x = n + 1; x <= n + n; ++x) { uint64_t y = x * n / (x - n); if (y * (x - n) == x * n) { numsol++; } } if (numsol > maxsol) { printf("New max n=%d sols=%d ", n, numsol); maxsol = numsol; } if (numsol >= limit) break; } } // Jorg Brown (jorg(AT)google.com), Mar 05 2007
%Y Cf. A018892, A126097. Equals A117010(n) + 1.
