%N Numbers x such that there exist three integers 0<x<=y, z>0 and w>0 such that sigma(x)^3 = sigma(y)^3 = x^3 + y^3 + z^3 + w^3.

%C The numbers x, y, z and w form a sigma-cubic quadruple. See Dimitrov link.

%e (255, 321, 84, 312) is such a quadruple because sigma(255)^3 = sigma(321)^3 = 432^3 = 255^3 + 321^3 + 84^3 + 312^3.
