%N a(n) = smallest m such that sigma(m) = n*m/2.

%C Interleaving of A007539 and A088912.

%C For even n, a(n) is a multiply perfect number; for odd n it is a hemiperfect number.

%C Note that 1 is the only number with abundancy 1, and 2 is the only number with abundancy 3/2 (in other words, 1 and 2 are solitary numbers; see A014567). For k >= 4 it is not known whether there are finitely many or infinitely many numbers with abundancy k/2. Also it is not known whether a(n) < a(n+1) always holds.

%C On the Riemann Hypothesis (RH), a(n) > exp(exp(n/(2*exp(gamma)))), where gamma = 0.5772156649... is the Euler-Mascheroni constant (A001620).

%e a(7) = 4320 since sigma(4320) = 15120 = 7/2*4320 and 4320 is the smallest m such that sigma(m)/m = 7/2.
