Charles,

Is the first expression the correct one since you should have the relation

a(n) - n*log(log(n)) <= c*O(n), for all n and for some constant c?

Otherwise, since the o(n) term is supposed to dominate, is the term
k*n (in the second expression) redundant? Finally, could

A013939(n) = n*log(log(n)) + O(n/log(n)) (for n large enough)

be a better estimate?

Regards,
