A239291 Smallest k > 0 such that the products of the nonempty subsets of {k, k+1,..., k+n-1} are all distinct. 0

%I #7 Dec 11 2015 22:01:51

%S 1,2,2,2,3,4,5,7,9,16,16,22,22,34,37,46,46,57,71,79,81,103,103,106

%N Smallest k > 0 such that the products of the nonempty subsets of {k, k+1,..., k+n-1} are all distinct.

%F a(n) >= A239276(n).

%e a(5) = 3 because the range {1,...,5} is ruled out by 1*2=2, the range {2,...,6} by 2*3 = 6 and all 31 subsets of {3,...,7} give a distinct product.

%t a[1]=1; a[n_] := a[n] = Block[{k = a[n-1]}, While[Min@ Differences@ Sort[Times @@@ Rest@ Subsets@ Range[k, n+k-1]] == 0, k++]; k]; Array[a, 16]

%Y Cf. A239276, A239277.

%K nonn,more

%O 1,2
