%N Numbers k such that d(k)^2 divides phi(k) + sigma(k).

%C Makowski proved that phi(k) + sigma(k) = k*d(k) if and only if k is a prime (see in Sivaramakrishnan, Chapter I, page 8, Theorem 3).

%C 2 is the only prime term of this sequence.

%C Contains p^2 if p is a prime == 2 or 7 (mod 9), and p*q if p and q are distinct primes with p*q == 7 (mod 8). - _Robert Israel_, Jan 18 2018

%F Integer solutions of phi(x) + sigma(x) = m * d(x) or A000010(x) + A000203(x) = m * A000005(x)^2, where m is an integer.

%e 78 is a term since it has 8 divisors, phi(78) = 24, sigma(78) = 168, and 24 + 168 = 192 = 3 * 8^2.
