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.

On consecutive integers divisible by the number of their divisors

Titu Andreescu, Florian Luca, M. Tip Phaovibul (2016)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

We prove that there are no strings of three consecutive integers each divisible by the number of its divisors, and we give an estimate for the number of positive integers n ≤ x such that each of n and n + 1 is a multiple of the number of its divisors.

On the composition of the Euler function and the sum of divisors function

Jean-Marie De Koninck, Florian Luca (2007)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let H(n) = σ(ϕ(n))/ϕ(σ(n)), where ϕ(n) is Euler's function and σ(n) stands for the sum of the positive divisors of n. We obtain the maximal and minimal orders of H(n) as well as its average order, and we also prove two density theorems. In particular, we answer a question raised by Golomb.

On ramifications divisors of functions in a punctured compact Riemann surface.

Pascual Cutillas Ripoll (1989)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Similarity:

Let ν be a compact Riemann surface and ν' be the complement in ν of a nonvoid finite subset. Let M(ν') be the field of meromorphic functions in ν'. In this paper we study the ramification divisors of the functions in M(ν') which have exponential singularities of finite degree at the points of ν-ν', and one proves, for instance, that if a function in M(ν') belongs to the subfield generated by the functions of this type, and has a finite ramification divisor, it also has a finite divisor....

On near-perfect numbers

Min Tang, Xiaoyan Ma, Min Feng (2016)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

For a positive integer n, let σ(n) denote the sum of the positive divisors of n. We call n a near-perfect number if σ(n) = 2n + d where d is a proper divisor of n. We show that the only odd near-perfect number with four distinct prime divisors is 3⁴·7²·11²·19².
