Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

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.

%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.
