%N Deficiency of n, or 2n - (sum of divisors of n).
%C Records for the sequence of the absolute values are in A075728 and the indices of these records in A074918. - _R. J. Mathar_, Mar 02 2007
%C a(n) = 1 iff n is a power of 2. a(n) = n - 1 iff n is prime. - _Omar E. Pol_, Jan 30 2014
%C If a(n) = 1 then n is called a least deficient number or an almost perfect number. All the powers of 2 are least deficient numbers but it is not known if there exists a least deficient number that is not a power of 2. See A000079. - _Jianing Song_, Oct 13 2019
%C It is not known whether there are any -1's in this sequence. See comment in A033880. - _Antti Karttunen_, Feb 02 2020

%F Sequence can be represented in arbitrarily many ways as a difference of the form (n - f(n)) - (g(n) - n), where f and g are any two sequences whose sum f(n)+g(n) = sigma(n). Here are few examples:
