COMMENTS
Companion sequences are numbers the absolute value of whose deficiency is a perfect number, numbers the absolute value of whose deficiency is an abundant number. Every nonnegative integer is in one of these three sequences.

FORMULA
{n such that A033879(n) is in A005100} = {n such that A005843(n)-A000203(n) is in A005100} = {n such that sigma (| 2*n-sigma(n) | ) < 2*(A033879(n))} = {n such that sigma (| 2*n-sigma(n) | ) < 2*(2*n-sigma(n)))}.
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 1 because the deficiency of 1 is 1, and 1 is itself a deficient number.
a(10) = 12 because the deficiency of 12 is -4 and | -4 | = 4 is a deficient number.
7 is not in the sequence because the deficiency of 7 is 6, and 6 is a perfect number.
13 is not in the sequence because the deficiency of 13 is 12, and 12 is an abundant number.
