Comments

If d are divisors of n then values of sequence a(n) are the bending moments at point 0 of static forces of sizes tau(d) operating in places d on the cantilever as the nonnegative number axis of length n with support at point 0 by the schema: a(n) = (n * tau(n)) - Sum_((d<n) | n) (d * tau(d)).

If a(n) = 0 then n must be > 10^7.

Conjecture: a(n) = sigma(n) iff n is a power of 2 (A000079).

Number n = 72 is the smallest number n such that a(n) < n (see A245213).

Number n = 144 is the smallest number n such that a(n) < 0 (see A245214).

Formula

a(n) = A038040(n) - A245211(n).

a(n) = 2 * A038040(n) - A060640(n) = 2 * (n * tau(n))- Sum_(d | n) (d * tau(d)).

Example

For n = 6 with divisors [1, 2, 3, 6] we have: a(6) = 6 * tau(6) - (3 * tau(3) + 2 * tau(2) + 1 * tau(1) = 6*4 - (3*2+2*2+1*1) = 13.
