cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

Because of the bound d(m) <= 2*sqrt(m), in order for k to be in the sequence it suffices that d(k)/k >= d(m)/m for k < m < (2*k/d(k))^2. - Robert Israel, Jan 23 2023

These are the only 7 positive integers k which meet the constraint tau(k) >= k/2, where tau(k) = A000005(k). Inductively, there can only be a finite number of integers which meet this constraint. 1 has a perfect tau(k) / k ratio at 1. Every time a j-th power of a prime is multiplied by it, its ratio is multiplied by (j + 1)/p^j. Although 2 also achieves a perfect score, the scores must degrade after 2 because the above ratio is less than 1 otherwise.

Examples

			tau(1) = 1 >= 0.5
tau(2) = 2 >= 1
tau(3) = 2 >= 1.5
tau(4) = 3 >= 2
so 1, 2, 3, 4 are in the sequence.
tau(5) = 2 < 2.5
so 5 is not in the sequence.
