A338536 a(n) is the smallest number k for which the width n at the diagonal is one smaller than the maximum width of the symmetric representation of sigma(k). 2

%I #9 Dec 05 2020 17:53:44

%S 18,60,900,360,1800,3360,14400,5040,44100,15120,508032,27720,396900,

%N a(n) is the smallest number k for which the width n at the diagonal is one smaller than the maximum width of the symmetric representation of sigma(k).

%C All numbers computed so far for this sequence have a symmetric representation of sigma that consists of a single region.

%C Additional values computed through 2000000 are a(16,17,18,20,21,22,24,26,28) = (110880, 793800, 221760, 332640, 1587600, 554400, 831600, 720720, 1965600).

%e a(2) = 60 = 2*2*3*5 is in the sequence since it is the smallest with width 2 at the diagonal and maximum width 3 in its symmetric representation of sigma. The widths of its 10 legs to the diagonal are: 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2.
