Comments

Equivalently, k and k+1 have the same absolute value of abundance (or deficiency) with opposite signs.

Equivalently, s(k) + s(k+1) = k + (k+1), where s(k) is the sum of proper divisors of k (A001065).

If k is a 3-perfect number (A005820) and k+1 is a prime, then k is in the sequence. Of the 6 known 3-perfect numbers only 672 and 523776 have this property.

Example

672 is a term since A033880(672) = sigma(672) - 2*672 = 2016 - 1344 = 672, and A033879(673) = 2*673 - sigma(673) = 1346 - 674 = 672.
