[seqfan] Re: A combinatorial problem

[Alois Heinz]

Vladimir,

how do your last results fit to your own submission, see
http://list.seqfan.eu/pipermail/seqfan/2010-August/005485.html
which has:

%F A179926 a(p^k)=1, a(p*q)=a(p^2*q)=a(p^2*q^2)=2,
     a(p^3*q)=4, a(pqr)=12 (here p,q,r are distinct primes, k>=1).

I strongly believe, as I told you in
http://list.seqfan.eu/pipermail/seqfan/2010-August/005517.html
that the correct values of a(p_1*p_2*...*p_n) for n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
are  1, 2, 18, 5712, 5859364320
