Going either upward or downward with the argument, the largest prime factors are increasing for a while. Here the maximal length of increasing greatest-prime-factor sequences are given when going downward with the arguments. Compare with A102640. %e A102641 For n = 12: 2^10 = 4096. The greatest prime factors of 4096, 4095, 4094, 4093 are as follows: {2, 13, 89, 4093}. A006530(4092) = 31 is already smaller than A006530(4093). Thus the length of the increasing GPF sequence is 4 = a(12). %t A102641 With[{nn = 12}, Table[Function[k, 1 + LengthWhile[#, # > 0 &] &@ Differences@ Table[FactorInteger[m][[-1, 1]], {m, k, k - nn, -1}]][2^n], {n, 105}] ] (* _Michael De Vlieger_, Jul 24 2017 *) %Y A102641 Cf.
