Comments

The exponential version of A019279.

Hanumanthachari et al. proved that:

1) The only e-superperfect number of the form p^q with p and q primes is 9 = 3^2.

2) If p prime, m squarefree coprime to m with gcd(p+1, m) > 1 then p^2 * m is e-superperfect only if p = 2.

3) If k is squarefree coprime to esigma(m) then m*k is e-superperfect if and only if m is e-superperfect.

Formula

9 is in the sequence since esigma(9) = 12 and esigma(12) = 18 = 2*9.

Mathematica

f[p_, e_] := DivisorSum[e, p^# &]; esigma[1] = 1; esigma[n_] := Times @@ f @@@ FactorInteger[n]; espQ[n_] := esigma[esigma[n]] == 2n; Select[Range[1000], espQ]
