Let f (n) denote the number of unordered factorizations of a positive integer n into factors larger than 1. We show that the number of distinct values of f (n), less than or equal to x, is at most exp (C √log x / loglog x (1+o(1))), where C = 2π √ 2/3 and x is sufficiently large. This improves upon a previous result of the first author and F. Luca.

Abstract


Let f (n) denote the number of unordered factorizations of a positive integer n into factors larger than 1. We show that the number of distinct values of f (n), less than or equal to x, is at most exp (C √log x / loglog x (1+o(1))), where C = 2π √ 2/3 and x is sufficiently large. This improves upon a previous result of the first author and F. Luca.
