%N Odd numbers that have middle divisors.

%C Odd numbers k such that the symmetric representation of sigma(k) has an odd number of parts.

%C From _Felix Fröhlich_, Sep 25 2018: (Start)

%C For the definition of middle divisors, see A067742.

%C Let t be a term of A005408. Then t is in this sequence iff A067742(t) != 0. (End)

%C From _Hartmut F. W. Hoft_, May 24 2022: (Start)

%C By Theorem 1 (iii) in A067742, the number of middle divisors of a(n) equals the width of the symmetric representation of sigma(a(n)) on the diagonal which equals the triangle entry A249223(n, A003056(n)).

%C All terms in sequence A016754 have an odd number of middle divisors, forming a subsequence of this sequence; A016754(18) = a(116) = 1225 = 5^2 * 7^2 is the smallest number in A016754 with 3 middle divisors: 25, 35, 49.

%C Sequence A259417 is a subsequence of this sequence and of A320137 since an even power of a prime has a single middle divisor.

%C The maximum widths of the center part of the symmetric representation of sigma(a(n)), SRS(a(n)), need not occur at the diagonal. For example, a(304) = 3^3 * 5^3 = 3375, SRS(3375) has 3 parts, its center part has maximum width 3 while its width at the diagonal equals 2 = A067742(3375), and divisors 45 and 75 are the two middle divisors of a(304). (End)

%e 9 is in the sequence because it's an odd number and the symmetric representation of sigma(9) = 13 has an odd number of parts (more exactly three parts), as shown below:
