COMMENTS
A number m is abundant if sigma(m) > 2m (this sequence), perfect if sigma(m) = 2m (cf. A000396), or deficient if sigma(m) < 2m (cf. A005100), where sigma(m) is the sum of the divisors of m (A000203).
While the first even abundant number is 12 = 2^2*3, the first odd abundant is 945 = 3^3*5*7, the 232nd abundant number!
It appears that for m abundant and > 23, 2*A001055(m) - A101113(m) is NOT 0. - Eric Desbiaux, Jun 01 2009
If m is a term so is every positive multiple of m. "Primitive" terms are in A091191.
If m=6k (k>=2), then sigma(m) >= 1 + k + 2*k + 3*k + 6*k > 12*k = 2*m. Thus all such m are in the sequence.
According to Deléglise (1998), the abundant numbers have natural density 0.2474 < A(2) < 0.2480. Thus the n-th abundant number is asymptotic to 4.0322*n < n/A(2) < 4.0421*n. - Daniel Forgues, Oct 11 2015
From Bob Selcoe, Mar 28 2017 (prompted by correspondence with Peter Seymour): (Start)
Applying similar logic as the proof that all multiples of 6 >= 12 appear in the sequence, for all odd primes p:
i) all numbers of the form j*p*2^k (j >= 1) appear in the sequence when p < 2^(k+1) - 1;
ii) no numbers appear when p > 2^(k+1) - 1 (i.e., are deficient and are in A005100);
iii) when p = 2^(k+1) - 1 (i.e., perfect numbers, A000396), j*p*2^k (j >= 2) appear.
Note that redundancies are eliminated when evaluating p only in the interval [2^k, 2^(k+1)].
The first few even terms not of the forms i or iii are {70, 350, 490, 550, 572, 650, 770, ...}. (End)
