Comments

The offset is 2 since there are infinitely many numbers (all the primes) for which A001065 = 1.

The graph of this sequence, shifted by 1, looks similar to that of A061358, which counts Goldbach partitions of n. - T. D. Noe, Dec 05 2008

For n > 2, a(n) <= A000009(n) as all divisor lists must have distinct values. - Roderick MacPhee, Sep 13 2016

The smallest k > 0 such that there are exactly n numbers whose sum of proper divisors is k is A125601(n). - Bernard Schott, Mar 23 2023

Formula

From Bernard Schott, Mar 23 2023: (Start)

a(n) = 0 iff n is in A005114 (untouchable numbers).

a(n) = 1 iff n is in A057709 ("hermit" numbers).

a(n) = 2 iff n is in A057710.

a(n) > 1 iff n is in A160133. (End)

Example

a(6) = 2 since 6 is the sum of the proper divisors of 6 and 25.
