On the maximal order of numbers in the "factorisatio numerorum" problem

英文摘要：

Let m(n) be the number of ordered factorizations of n in factors larger than 1. We prove that for every eps>0 n^{rho} m(n) < exp[(log n)^{1/rho}/(loglog n)^{1+eps}] holds for all integers n>n_0, while, for a constant c>0, n^{rho} m(n) > exp[c(log n)^{1/ρ}/(loglog n)^{1/rho}] holds for infinitely many positive integers n, where rho=1.72864... is the real solution to zeta(rho)=2. We investigate also arithmetic properties of m(n) and the number of distinct values of m(n).
