%N Numbers having just two anti-divisors.

%C See A066272 for definition of anti-divisor.

%C 2^42*3^2, 2^62*3^2, 2^210*3^2, 2^60 and 2^126 are terms. If 2*k-1 and 2*k+1 are both prime and k has exactly three odd divisors, then k is a term. Also if 2^p-1 is a Mersenne prime and 2^p+1 is the product of two distinct primes, then 2^(p-1) is a term. - _Donovan Johnson_, Jan 21 2013

%C From _David A. Corneth_, Oct 23 2019: (Start)

%C Terms greater than 5 are of the form 2^i * 3^j where i >= 0 and 0 <= j <= 2.

%C From the number of antidivisors of n (A066272) we have:

%C A066272(n) = A000005(2*n-1) + A000005(2*n+1) + A001227(n) - 5. [See formula in A066272 by _Max Alekseyev_, Apr 27 2010]

%C Let tau(k) be the number of divisors of k (A000005(k)).

%C Let odd(k) be the odd part of k (A001227(k)).

%C So tau(2*m + 1) + tau(2*m - 1) + tau(odd(m)) = 7.

%C As m > 1, we have tau(2*m + 1) >= 2 and tau(2*m - 1) >= 2, i.e., tau(odd(m)) in {1, 2, 3}.

%C If tau(odd(m)) = 1 then m = 2^k which confirms our claim.

%C If tau(odd(m)) = 2 then m = 2^k * p for some odd prime p.

%C If p > 3 then p = 6*t +- 1 for some t > 0.

%C Then 2*m + 1 or 2*m - 1 is divisible by 3, so they can only be 3^2, which gives m = 5. Otherwise, it is a semiprime and one of tau(2*m + 1) or tau(2*m - 1) = 4 and we have too many antidivisors.

%C Similar reasoning holds for tau(odd(m)) = 3, i.e., m = 2^k * p^2. (End)

%e For m = 12: 2m-1, 2m, 2m+1 are 23, 24, 25 with odd divisors > 1 {23}, {8}, {5} and quotients 1, 3, 5 so the anti-divisors of 12 are 3 and 5. Therefore 12 is a term of this sequence. - _Bernard Schott_, Oct 23 2019
