%N Odd numbers k such that sigma(m) = 2m+k has a solution in m, where sigma is the sum-of-divisors function A000203.

%C From _M. F. Hasler_ and _Farideh Firoozbakht_, Nov 26 2009: (Start)

%C The sequence of Mersenne primes, A000668 is a subsequence of this sequence.

%C Because if k=2^p-1 is prime then n=2^(p-1)*(2^p-1)^2 is a solution of the equation sigma(x)=2x+k. The proof is easy. (End)
