Original title was: "Numbers c such that (c^2-1)c is square free and gcd(c-1,c,c+1)=1", but (c^2-1)c is never squarefree for odd c, and gcd(n,n+1) is always = 1. - M. F. Hasler, Nov 03 2013
These numbers c with distribution a+b=c such that a=(c-1)/2 (see A172186) and b=(c+1)/2 (see A179019) have minimal possible values with function L(a,b,c) = log(c)/log(N(a,b,c)) = log(c)/log((c^2-1)c/4).
This function is minimal orbital in hypothesis (a,b,c).
There are no numbers or distributions which have value L less than log(c)/log((c^2-1)*c/4).
Equivalently, odd squarefree numbers c such that (c^2 - 1)/4 is also squarefree. - Jon E. Schoenfield, Feb 13 2023
The asymptotic density of this sequence is Product_{p prime} (1 - 3/p^2) = A206256 = 0.125486980905... (Tsang, 1985). - Amiram Eldar, Feb 26 2024
