COMMENTS
Quote from the abstract of the article by te Riele: "In this note, the existence of an aliquot sequence with more than 5092 monotonically increasing even terms is proved". The author uses the perfect number corresponding to the Mersenne prime 2^p-1 with p=19937 (whereas the script below only uses p=521).
