%N Integers k such that sigma(sigma(k) - k) = 2*k, where sigma is the sum of divisors, A000203.

%C That is, integers k such that A072869(k) = 2*k.

%C All perfect numbers (A000396) belong to this sequence.

%C Is there another term like 36 that is not perfect?

%H <a href="/index/O#opnseqs">Index entries for sequences where odd perfect numbers must occur, if they exist at all</a>

%e For k=36, sigma(sigma(36)-36) = sigma(91-36) = sigma(55) = 72, hence 36 is in the sequence.
