%C Sigma(n,k) is the sum of the k-th powers of the divisors of n.

%C The sequence seems to be strictly increasing. - _Chayim Lowen_, Aug 05 2015.

%C This is true. Moreover, subsequent ratios a(n+1)/a(n) steadily grow for n>3. The difference of subsequent ratios tends to the limit e = 2.718... The reason is that a(n) roughly behaves like n^n; already the second largest term in the sum is smaller by a factor 2^n (for even n) or by a factor 3^n (for n=6k+3) etc.). - _M. F. Hasler_, Aug 16 2015
