%N Define the total divisor symmetry of a number n to be the number of values r takes such that n-r and n+r have the same number of divisors. Sequence contains the total divisor symmetry of n.

%C Number of partitions of 2n in two parts with equal number divisors. Conjecture: (1) No term is zero for n > 3. (2) Every number k appears finitely many times in the sequence. i.e. for every k there exists a number f(k) so that for all n > f(k), a(n) > k. Subsidiary sequences: (1) The frequency of n. (2) The greatest number m so that a(m) = n.

%C Does every nonnegative integer occur in this sequence? - _Franklin T. Adams-Watters_, May 12 2006

%e a(15) = 5 and the values r takes are 2,3,4,7 and 8 giving the number pairs (13,17), (12,18), (11,19), (8,22) and (7,23) with same number of divisors.
