This is a right inverse of sigma = A000203 on A002191 = range(sigma): if n is in A002191, then there is some x with sigma(x) = n, and by definition a(n) is the smallest such x, so sigma(a(n)) = n. - M. F. Hasler, Nov 22 2019

EXAMPLE
|
sigma(1) = 1, so a(1) = 1.
There is no k with sigma(k) = 2, since sigma(k) >= k + 1 for all k > 1 and sigma(1) = 1, so a(2) = 0.
sigma(4) = 7, and 4 is the smallest (since only) such number, so a(7) = 4.
6 and 12 are the only k with sigma(k) = 12, so 6 is the smallest and a(12) = 6.
