%H David A. Corneth, <a href="/A285892/b285892.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..9999</a>

%e a(3) = 369: sigma(369) = sigma(180) = 369 + 180 - 3 = 546;

%e a(4) = 26: sigma(26) = sigma(20) = 26 + 20 - 4 = 42;

%e a(5) = 11: sigma(11) = sigma(6) = 11 + 6 - 5 = 12.

%e From _David A. Corneth_, May 10 2017 (Start):

%e a(35) = 69: sigma(62) = sigma(69) = 62 + 69 - 35 = 96.

%e After creating a list of pairs (sigma(i), i) and sorting them with respect to sigma(i), we get {[1, 1], [3, 2], [4, 3], [6, 5], [7, 4], [8, 7], [12, 6], [12, 11], [13, 9], ...}. Skimming through this list we see that the first pair of numbers having the same value for sigma are 6 and 11. As sigma(y) = x + y - n, we have n = x + y - sigma(y), giving n = 6 + 11 - 12 = 5. We have found no value for a(5) yet, therefore, a(5) = 11. (End)
