Dec 25, 2011 at 18:46 comment added Alex R. If you have access to a math library you should be able to find Robin's original paper. It's in French but, fairly readable. If I recall, the main idea of the paper was to sharpen some existing bounds on the sum-of-divisors function for highly composite numbers. I'm curious if there's a different derivation.
Dec 25, 2011 at 18:34 comment added Tom Leinster When I click on Igor's link, I get a screen full of gobbledegook. To make it work, save the link (e.g. by right clicking on it). It's a PDF file, which you can then view in the normal way.
Dec 25, 2011 at 18:14 comment added Igor Rivin It turns out that the OP asked the same question on math.SE, where someone supplied the following link: mpim-bonn.mpg.de/preblob/2960 Double posting (especially without mention) is not cool, so I am voting to close now.
