%N A158661 Least number k such that sigma_n(k) > sigma_n(k+1), where sigma_n(k) = sum of the n-th powers of the divisors of k.
%C A158661 It appears that the inequality a(n+1) > (2+2/n)*a(n) is true for n > 4.
%F A158661 For n>0, a(n) = A098475(n) - 1.
%e A158661 The values of the sigma_3 function (A001158) are increasing up to 25. Hence a(3)=24.
