%N Let s0 and s1 be the sums of the reciprocals of the even and odd divisors of n, respectively. The sequence lists the numbers n such that 3*s0 - 2*s1 = 1.

%C Let D0 = {d0(i)}, i = 1..p, the set of the p even divisors of a number n and D1 = {d1(n)}, j = 1..q the set of the q odd divisors of n. Then a(n) is the number such that 3*Sum_{i=1..p} 1/d0(i)- 2*Sum_{j=1..q} 1/d1(j) = 1.

%C Property of the sequence:

%C We observe that a(n) = 2^(k+1)*(2^k-1)*(2^(k+1) - 3) = (2*A000668(m) + 2)*A000668(m)*(2*A000668(m) - 1) where A000668(m) = 2^k - 1 is a Mersenne prime and (2*A000668(m)-1) = 2^(k+1)- 3 is also a prime number.

%C The corresponding values of k are 2, 3, 5, 13, 19, ... and the corresponding values of m are 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, ...

%C Generalization:

%C It is possible to introduce general sequences of numbers such that a*s0 + b*s1 = c with very interesting properties for some integers a, b, c.

%C Example 1: with (a, b, c) = (2, -1, 1) we find the sequence A064591 = 24, 112, 1984, 32512, ... (non-unitary perfect numbers).

%C Example 2: with (a, b, c) = (2, -1, 0) we find the sequence A016825(n) = 2, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, ...

%C Example 3: with (a, b, c) = (1, 1, 2) we find the sequence A000396(n) = 6, 28, 496, 8128,... (perfect numbers).

%C Example 4: with (a, b, c) = (4, -3, 1) we find the sequence 48, 224, 3968, 65024, ... = 2*A064591(n) = A000668(n)*2^p for some p where A000668 lists the Mersenne primes.

%C Example 5: with (a, b, c) = (6, -5, 1) we find the sequence 240, 2912, 242048, ... which equals twice the sequence obtained with (a, b, c) = (3, -2, 1).

%C Example 6: with (a, b, c) = (7, -6, 1) we find the sequence 2150, 13104, 24800, ...
