Comments

If n is in the sequence then sigma(n) = 4*(n-phi(n)) because phi(n) = phi(3)*phi(2^p)*phi(2^p-1) = 2^p*(2^p-2) hence 4*(n-phi(n)) = 4*(3*2^p*(2^p-1)-2^p*(2^p-2)) = 4*2^p* (3*2^p-3-2^p+2) = 4*2^p*(2^(p+1)-1) = sigma(3)*sigma(2^p-1)* sigma(2^p) = sigma(3*(2^p-1)*2^p) = sigma(n). So this sequence is a subsequence of A068420.
