COMMENTS
a(n) is at most 2.487^n and at least 2.076^n for large enough n (see Felsner & Valtr). Originally conjectured to equal A144685, but in fact a(n) is asymptotically larger and exceeds A144685 at least for n >= 34 (see Karpov & Slinko). - Clayton Thomas, Aug 19 2019 [Updated by Andrey Zabolotskiy, Dec 31 2023]
