Powerful numbers (A001694) that satisfy Euler's criterion for odd perfect numbers (A228058). That is, terms of A228058 whose special factor is not a prime, but a prime power.
If N = q^k*n^2 (i.e., a number of the form A228058) is an odd perfect number with special prime q, then the assertion that k must be 1 is known as the Descartes-Frenicle-Sorli conjecture on odd perfect numbers. In other words, the conjecture stipulates that certainly this subsequence of A228058 does not contain any odd perfect numbers.
