COMMENTS

A period 2 sequence.

The sum of the proper divisors of 220 is 284 and the sum of the proper divisors of 284 is 220.

Sierpinski's book has typos for n = 1 and 3 (280 instead of 284).

Also continued fraction expansion of (7810+sqrt(61000005))/71. - Bruno Berselli, Jan 18 2012

FORMULA

a(2*n) = 220, a(2*n+1) = 284.

a(n) = 4*(63-8*(-1)^n). - Paolo P. Lava, Jan 18 2012

EXAMPLE

a(0) = 220, a(1) = sigma(220) - 220 = 284.
