%N Matching number of the divisor graph of {1,...,n}.

%C a(n) is the matching number of the graph on vertices {1,...,n} in which two vertices are connected by an edge if one divides another.

%C The maximum matching in a graph can be calculated by the blossom algorithm.

%C By considering the matching k-2k with k = floor(n/4)+1,...,floor(n/2), we obtain the inequality: floor(n/4) <= a(n).

%F floor(n/4) <= a(n) <= floor(n/2).

%e a(10) = 5, since the divisor graph of {1,...,10} has a perfect matching: 1-7, 2-6, 3-9, 4-8, 5-10, which is a matching of size 5.
