%N Smallest k in the interval [prime(n), 2*prime(n)], such that k has the maximal number of divisors in this interval.

%C Conjecturally the different values of the sequence are highly composite numbers (A002182, n>=3).

%e Let n=5, prime(n)=11. In interval [11,22] we have 3 numbers 12,18 and 20 with the maximal number of divisors in this interval(6). Since 12 is the smallest of them, then a(5)=12.
