Nonaliquots and Robbins numbers

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let φ(·) and σ(·) denote the Euler function and the sum of divisors function, respectively. We give a lower bound for the number of m ≤ x for which the equation m = σ(n) - n has no solution. We also show that the set of positive integers m not of the form (p-1)/2 - φ(p-1) for some prime number p has a positive lower asymptotic density.
