%N Almost Zumkeller numbers: Numbers whose Zumkeller-deficiency (A103977) is 1.

%C Numbers whose divisors can be partitioned into two disjoint sets with equal sum when an extra 1-divisor is added to them. - _Amiram Eldar_, Jan 06 2025

%C Question: Does A156942 give all odd squares > 1 of this sequence? There are two issues here: first, whether there are any almost perfect numbers (k such that sigma(k) = 2k-1) that are odd (and by necessity squares) other than 1, and second, whether A103977(k) = 1 for all terms of A156942? The first 15000 terms of A156942 are all members.

%e 18 is included, as its divisors with an extra 1 are [1, 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18], and these can be partitioned as 2+3+6+9 = 1+1+18 = 20.

%e 36 is included, as its divisors with an extra 1 are [1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36], and these can be partitioned to two sets with equal sums, for example as (1+2+3+4)+(36) = (1+9)+(6+12+18), and also in several other ways (see example in A379504).

%e 11025 is included as its divisors with an extra 1 are [1, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 15, 21, 25, 35, 45, 49, 63, 75, 105, 147, 175, 225, 245, 315, 441, 525, 735, 1225, 1575, 2205, 3675, 11025], and 1+5+35+175+245+11025 = 1+3+7+9+15+21+25+45+49+63+75+105+147+225+315+441+525+735+1225+1575+2205+3675 = 11486 = (sigma(11025)+1)/2.
