COMMENTS

A number n is abundant if sigma(n) > 2n (this entry), perfect if sigma(n) = 2n (cf. A000396), deficient if sigma(n) < 2n (cf. A005100), where sigma(n) is the sum of the divisors of n (A000203).

While the first even abundant number is 12 = 2^2*3, the first odd abundant is 945 = 3^3*5*7, the 232th abundant number!

It appears that for n > 23, the result of (2*A001055)-A101113 is NOT 0 if n=A005101. [From Eric Desbiaux (moongerms(AT)wanadoo.fr), Jun 01 2009]

If n is a member so is every positive multiple of n. "Primitive" members are in A091191.

If n=6k (k>=2), then sigma(n)>=1+k+2*k+3*k+6*k>12*k=2*n. Thus all such n are in the sequence.
