FORMULA
From Johannes W. Meijer, Feb 12 2013: (Start)
a((2*n-1)*2^p) = 2*4^(p+1) - 1 for p >= 0 and n >= 1. Observe that a(2^p) = A083420(p+1).
a(2^(p+3)*n + 2^(p+2) - 1) = a(2^(p+2)*n + 2^(p+1) - 1) for p >= 0. (End)
a(n) = 2^s-1, with s = 2*A007814(n) + 3. Recurrence: a(2n) = 4a(n)+3, a(2n+1) = 7. - Ralf Stephan, Aug 22 2013
EXAMPLE
sigma(72)/sigma(36) = 15/7, so a(3) = 7.
MAPLE
nmax:=73: for p from 0 to ceil(simplify(log[2](nmax))) do for n from 1 to ceil(nmax/(p+2)) do a((2*n-1)*2^p) := 2*4^(p+1) - 1 od: od: seq(a(n), n=1..nmax); # Johannes W. Meijer, Feb 12 2013
