COMMENTS
This sequence includes the smallest member of all exponential amicable pairs and does not discriminate between primitive and nonprimitive pairs.
The asymptotic density of this sequence is Sum_{n>=1} f(A323753(n)) = 3.1138...*10^(-6), where f(n) = (6/(Pi^2*n)) * Product_{prime p|n} (p/(p+1)). - Amiram Eldar, Dec 05 2025

FORMULA
The values of m for which esigma(m) = esigma(n) = m + n and m < n, where esigma is defined in A051377.
EXAMPLE
a(3) = 937692 because (937692,968436) is the third exponential amicable pair.
