A172120 Numbers k for which maxima of the function log(k)/log(N(a, k-a, k)) occurs for two or more distinct values of a. (a < k-a, function N(a, k-a, k) is the squarefree kernel of a*(k-a)*k and gcd(a, k-a, k) = 1.) 3

%N Numbers k for which maxima of the function log(k)/log(N(a, k-a, k)) occurs for two or more distinct values of a. (a < k-a, function N(a, k-a, k) is the squarefree kernel of a*(k-a)*k and gcd(a, k-a, k) = 1.)

%C This sequence is related to the ABC conjecture.

%e a(1)=7 because the maxima of log(7)/log(N(a, 7-a, 7)) occur at two distinct values, a=1 and a=3. In both cases, (log(c)/log(N(a,b,c)) is equal to log(7)/log(42).
