Antti Karttunen, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..65537
EXAMPLE
For n = 21 and 31 the restricted growth sequence transform assigns the same value (we have a(21) = a(31) = 21) because both numbers are odd, and the sum of their divisors is equal as sigma(21) = sigma(31) = 32.
On the other hand, although sigma(14) = sigma(15) = 24, a(14) != a(15) because the other number is even and the other number is odd. Compare to A286603.
