%C Alanen (1972) used the term "hermit" for a number k such that x = k is the only solution to A001065(x) = k. These numbers are the perfect numbers (A000396) in this sequence. Of the first 4 perfect numbers, 6, 28, 496 and 8128, only 28 is a term. - _Amiram Eldar_, Mar 03 2021

%e 12 is a member of the sequence because s(121)=12 (and because no other integer m satisfies s(m) = 12).

%e 18 is included because the sum of aliquot parts of 289 = 1+17 = 18, this being the only number with this property. 6 is not included because the sum of aliquot parts of 6 = 1+2+3 = 6 and the sum of aliquot parts of 25 = 1+5 = 6.
