For all k in A014224, 3^(k-1)*(3^k-2) is in this sequence. - M. F. Hasler, Apr 25 2012
The known examples are all of the form 3^(k-1)*(3^k-2), where 3^k-2 is prime (cf. A014224). Conversely, from sigma(3^(k-1)*p)=(3^k-1)/2*(p+1) it is immediate that 2*sigma(n)=3n+1 for such numbers, i.e., they are 2-hyperperfect. (This is "form 3" with p=3 in McCranie's paper.) - M. F. Hasler, Apr 25 2012
a(6) > 10^18. - Max Alekseyev, Nov 25 2019
Numbers k for which sigma(k) = (3k+1)/2, thus numbers k such that A000203(k) = A014682(k). Sequence A064989(a(n)), n >= 1, forms a subsequence of A337342. - Antti Karttunen, Aug 26 2020
