COMMENT

This is a very slowly growing sequence - by n=100000 the maximum value is 8. Find an asymptotic formula. Find the record holders for this sequence.

FORMULA

omega((n-1)*(n+1))

EXAMPLE

a(11)=3 because (11-1)(11+1)=10.12=2^3.3.5, which has 3 distinct prime factors, namely 2,3 and 5.

PROGRAM

(PARI) for (n=2, 100, print1(omega((n-1)*(n+1))", "))
