%N Numbers conjectured to have an infinite, aperiodic, aliquot sequence.

%C From _Martin Renner_, Oct 28 2011: (Start)

%C There are 12 numbers up to 1000 with the five yet unknown trajectories

%C (1) 276 ->

%C 306 -> 396 -> 696 -> ...

%C (2) 552 -> 888 -> ...

%C (3) 564 -> 780 -> ...

%C (4) 660 ->

%C 828 ->

%C 996 -> 1356 -> ...

%C (5) 966 -> 1338 -> ...

%C The least starting numbers 276, 552, 564, 660 and 966 for the trajectories are called Lehmer five.

%C There are currently 81 open end trajectories up to 10000. (End)

%C Sequence A216072 lists only the values that are the lowest starting elements of open end aliquot sequences that are the part of different open-ending families. But this sequence lists all the starting values of an aliquot sequence that lead to open-ending. It includes all values obtained by iterating from the starting values of this sequence. - _V. Raman_, Dec 08 2012
