A325967 a(n) is the minimum sum of all such subsets of divisors of n for which n-s and (sigma(n)-s)-n are relatively prime, where s is the sum of the subset. 7

COMMENTS
Partition the divisors of n in all possible ways into such complementary subsets x and y for which gcd(n-Sum(x), n-Sum(y)) = 1. a(n) is the minimal value of min(Sum(x), Sum(y)) attained over all such pairs of subsets x and y.

Equivalently, the least k expressible as a sum of distinct divisors of n such that gcd(n-k,A033879(n)) = 1, with the convention that gcd(k,0) = k. - Charlie Neder, Jun 09 2019

FORMULA
a(n) = A000203(n) - A325968(n) = A001065(n) - A325969(n).
For all n, a(A000396(n)) = A000396(n)-1.
For all n, a(n) >= A325817(n).
EXAMPLE
For n=15, its divisors are [1, 3, 5, 15]. If we take an empty set [] and its complement [1, 3, 5, 15], their sums are 0 and 24, but gcd(15-0, 24-15) = gcd(15, 9) = 3 > 1. If we take subsets [1] and [3, 5, 15], then their sums are 1 and 23, but gcd(15-1, 23-15) = gcd(14,8) = 2 > 1. If we take subsets [3] and [1, 5, 15], their sums are 3 and 21, but gcd(15-3, 21-15) = gcd(12, 6) = 6 > 1. Only when we take the subset with a next larger sum, [1, 3] and its complement [5, 15], we get such sums 4 and 20 for which gcd(15-4, 20-15) = gcd(11, 5) = 1. Thus a(15) = 4, the size of the subset with lesser sum.
PROG
(PARI)
\\ Probably not the most optimal algorithm, but at least faster than the implementation using sumbybits (below):
A325967aux(n, ds, s, ms, divs, from=1) = if(1==gcd((s-ds)-n, n-ds), return(ds), for(i=from, #divs, if(ds+divs[i] >= ms, return(ms), ms = min(ms, A325967aux(n, ds+divs[i], s, ms, divs, i+1)))); (ms));
A325967(n) = if(1==gcd(n, sigma(n)), 0, my(divs = List(divisors(n)), s=sigma(n), ms=2*s); fordiv(n, d, if(d>=ms, return(ms), listpop(divs, 1); ms = min(ms, A325967aux(n, d, s, ms, divs)))); (ms));
(PARI)
A325967(n) = { my(divs=divisors(n), s=sigma(n), r, ms=-1); for(b=0, (2^(length(divs)))-1, r=sumbybits(divs, b); if(1==gcd(n-(s-r), n-r), if(ms<0||r<ms, ms=r))); (ms); };
sumbybits(v, b) = { my(s=0, i=1); while(b>0, s += (b%2)*v[i]; i++; b >>= 1); (s); };
