For n >= 2, a(n) = sum of the two (not necessarily distinct) earlier terms, a(j) and a(k), which maximizes d(a(j)+a(k)), where d(m) is the number of positive divisors of m. a(n) = the maximum (a(j)+a(k)) if more than one such sum has the maximum number of divisors. %C A115386 In A115387 the minimum (a(j)+a(k)) is taken in case of a tie. %H A115386 Leroy Quet, Home Page (listed in lieu of email address) %e A115386 Sequence begins 1, 1, 2, 4. Now d(1+1) = 2, d(1+2) = 2, d(1+4) = 2, d(2+2) = 3, d(2+4) = 4, d(4+4)=4. So d(2+4) and d(4+4) are tied for the maximum number of divisors of a sum of two earlier terms of the sequence. But we want the maximum sum among these two values. So a(5) = 4+4 = 8. %o A115386 (PARI) {print1(a=1,",");v=[a];for(n=2,35,dsmax=0;smax=0;for(j=1,#v,for(k=j, #v, s=v[j]+v[k];d=numdiv(s);if(dsmax==d,smax=max(smax,s),if(dsmax<(d), dsmax=d;smax=s)))); print1(smax,",");v=concat(v,smax))} %Y A115386 Cf.
