%N Highly abundant numbers which are not abundant.

%C A number n is called "abundant" if sigma(n) > 2n, and "highly abundant" if sigma(n) > sigma(m) for all m < n. With these definitions, it's possible for a number to be highly abundant but not abundant. (A similar situation occurs with 2 being prime and highly composite.)

%C Fischer shows that all highly abundant numbers greater than 20 are multiples of 6. Since 6 is perfect and multiples of perfect numbers are abundant, this list is finite and complete.

%e 10 is in the sequence because sigma(10) > sigma(m) for m = 1 to 9, yet sigma(10) = 17 < 20.

%o (PARI) for(n=1, 1000, if((sum(i=1, n-1, sign(sigma(n)-sigma(i))) == n-1) && (sigma(n) <= 2*n), print1(n, ", "))) \\ _Michel Marcus_, Sep 21 2014
