COMMENTS
Numbers k such that bsigma(x) = k has more solutions x than any smaller k, where bsigma(x) is the sum of bi-unitary divisors of x (A188999).
The bi-unitary version of A145899.
The corresponding number of solutions for each term is 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 12, 13, 20, ... (see the link for more values).
EXAMPLE
There are 3 solutions to bsigma(x) = 24: bsigma(14) = bsigma(15) = bsigma(23) = 24. For all m < 24 there are 2 or fewer solutions to bsigma(x) = m, thus 24 is in the sequence.
MATHEMATICA
fun[p_, e_] := If[OddQ[e], (p^(e + 1) - 1)/(p - 1), (p^(e + 1) - 1)/(p - 1) - p^(e/2)]; bsigma[1] = 1; bsigma[n_] := Times @@ (fun @@@ FactorInteger[n]); m = 10000; v = Table[0, {m}]; Do[b = bsigma[k]; If[b <= m, v[[b]]++], {k, 1, m}]; s = {}; vm = -1; Do[If[v[[k]] > vm, vm = v[[k]]; AppendTo[s, k]], {k, 1, m}]; s
