COMMENTS

I propose this generalization of perfect numbers: for an arithmetical function f, the "f-perfect numbers" are the n such that f(n) = sum of f(k) where k ranges over proper divisors of n. The usual perfect numbers are i-perfect numbers, where i is the identity function. This sequence lists the sigma-perfect numbers. It is not hard to see that the EulerPhi-perfect numbers are the powers of 2 and the d-perfect numbers are the squares of primes (d(n) denotes the number of divisors of n).

Problems: Find an expression generating sigma-perfect numbers. Are there infinitely many of these? Find other interesting sets generated by other f's. 3.

FORMULA

Integer n = p1^k1 * p2^k2 * ... * pm^km is in this sequence if and only if g(p1^k1)*g(p2^k2)*...*g(pm^km)=2, where g(p^k)=(p^(k+2)-(k+2)*p+k+1)/(p^(k+1)-1)/(p-1) for prime p and integer k>=1. [From Max Alekseyev (maxale(AT)gmail.com), Oct 23 2008]

EXAMPLE

Proper divisors of 198 = {1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 11, 18, 22, 33, 66, 99}; sum of their sigma values = 1 + 3 + 4 + 12 + 13 + 12 + 39 + 36 + 48 + 144 + 156 = 468 = sigma(198).
