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”).

Consider a number of k digits n = d_(k)*10^(k-1) + d_(k-1)*10^(k-2) + … + d_(2)*10 + d_(1). Sequence lists the numbers n such that sigma(n)-n = Sum_{i=1..k-1}{sigma(Sum_{j=1..i}{d_(j)*10^(j-1)})} - Sum_{i=1..k-1}{sigma(Sum_{j=1..i}{d_(k-j+1)*10^(i-j)})} (see example below)

a(16) > 10^10. - Giovanni Resta, May 23 2016
EXAMPLE
If n = 48917, starting from the least significant digit, let us cut the number into the set 7, 17, 917, 8917. We have:
sigma(7) = 8;
sigma(17) = 18;
sigma(917) = 1056;
sigma(8917) = 9196.
Then, starting from the most significant digit, let us cut the number into the set 4, 48, 489, 4891. We have:
sigma(4) = 7;
sigma(48) = 124;
sigma(489) = 656;
sigma(4891) = 5032.
Finally,
8 + 18 + 1056 + 9196 - (7 + 124 + 656 + 5032) = 4459 = sigma(48917) - 48917.
