The range of the sum-of-proper-divisors function

Florian Luca, Carl Pomerance (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

Answering a question of Erdős, we show that a positive proportion of even numbers are in the form s(n), where s(n) = σ(n) - n, the sum of proper divisors of n.

On the average of the sum-of-a-divisors function

Shi-Chao Chen, Yong-Gao Chen (2004)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We prove an Ω result on the average of the sum of the divisors of n which are relatively coprime to any given integer a. This generalizes the earlier result for a prime proved by Adhikari, Coppola and Mukhopadhyay.
