%N Numerator of sum of -2nd powers of divisors of n.
%C Sum_{d|n} 1/d^k is equal to sigma_k(n)/n^k. So sequences A017665-A017712 also give the numerators and denominators of sigma_k(n)/n^k for k = 1..24. The power sums sigma_k(n) are in sequences A000203 (k=1), A001157-A001160 (k=2,3,4,5), A013954-A013972 for k = 6,7,...,24. - Ahmed Fares (ahmedfares(AT)my-deja.com), Apr 05 2001
%C Numerators of coefficients in expansion of Sum_{k>=1} x^k/(k^2*(1 - x^k)). - _Ilya Gutkovskiy_, May 24 2018
%C C. Defant proves that there are no positive integers n such that sigma_{-2}(n) lies in (Pi^2/8, 5/4). See arxiv link. - _Michel Marcus_, Aug 24 2018
