Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Numbers k such that there is no odd number whose aliquot sequence contains k.

%C k is in sequence iff k can never be reached when iterating the map x -> A001065(x) starting with any odd number m.

%C Assuming the stronger version of Goldbach conjecture, iff k is in the sequence, there are infinitely many odd numbers whose aliquot sequence contain k.

%C Supersequence of A005114 (except 5), A283152, A284147, A284156, A284187, ..., and untouchable perfect numbers (28, 137438691328, ...), untouchable amicable numbers (A238382), untouchable sociable numbers.
