[seqfan] Re: A generalization of "antipodes": primes and highly composite numbers

[jean-paul allouche]

Dear Vladimir

I haven't really thought of your sequences,
but it suddenly vaguely (very vaguely) reminded
me something I have read long ago. I won't be
able to look at that right now, but ---related or not---
you might be interested in looking at
