Formula

Conjecture: a(n) = ((2*r) + 1)^2 * 2^(c+1) where r and c are the corresponding row and column of n in the table format of A191432, where the first row and column are 0. - John Tyler Rascoe, Jul 12 2022

Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = Pi^2/8 (A111003). - Amiram Eldar, Jul 09 2023

Example

From Michael De Vlieger, May 14 2017: (Start)
4 is a term since it is even and the sum of its divisors {1,2,4} = 7 - 2(4) = -1 is odd. It is an even square.
18 is a term since it is even and the sum of its divisors {1,2,3,6,9,18} = 39 - 2(18) = 3 is odd. It is 2 times a square, i.e., 2(9). (End)

Mathematica

Do[s=DivisorSigma[1, n]-2*n; If[OddQ[s]&&!OddQ[n], Print[{n, s}]], {n, 1, 1000}]
