COMMENTS

Obviously, all a(k) must be even (cf. formula), but e.g. a(9) and a(12) are not divisible by 3. See A007691 for numbers with integral abundancy.

Conjecture: with number 1, multiply-anti-perfect numbers m: m divides antisigma(m) = A024816(m). Sequence of fractions antisigma(m) / m: {0, 0, 10, 2157, 2337, 13101, 4455356, …}. - Jaroslav Krizek, Jul 21 2011

The above conjecture is equivalent to the conjecture that there are no odd multiply perfect numbers (A007691) greater than 1. Proof: (sigma(n)+antisigma(n))/n = (n+1)/2 for all n. If n is even then sigma(n)/n is a half-integer if and only if antisigma(n)/n is an integer. Since all members of this sequence are known to be even, the only way the conjecture can fail is if antisigma(n)/n is an integer, in which case sigma(n)/n is an integer as well. - Nathaniel Johnston, Jul 23 2011

FORMULA

A159907 = { n | 2*A000203(n) is in n*A005408 } = { n | A054024(n) = n/2 }

EXAMPLE

a(1) = 2 since sigma(2)/2 = (1+2)/2 = 3/2 is of the form k+1/2 with integer k=1.

Odd numbers and higher powers of 2 cannot be in the sequence; 6 is in A000396 and thus in A007691, and n=10,12,14,18,20,22 don't have integral 2*sigma(n)/n.

a(2) = 24 is in the sequence since sigma(24)/24 = (1+2+3+4+6+8+12+24)/24 = (24+12+24)/24 = k+1/2 with integer k=2.
