[seqfan] Re: Is there a phenomenon?

[Vladimir Shevelev]

Thank you, Zak!

It follows from the context that I wonder if there exist those values of n, for which among the first n numbers i the inequalities of the form a_3(i)>a_2.5(i) are in the majority (and the same for the inequalities a_3(i)>5/6a_2.5(i)).   It is interesting also a sequence of points n in which the difference a_2.5(n)-a_3(n)  (difference 5/6a_2.5(n)-a_3(n)) changes the sign.

Regards,
Vladimir
