No odd superperfect numbers are known. Hunsucker and Pomerance checked that there are no odd ones below 7 * 10^24. %C A019279 See also the Cohen-te Reile links under A019276. %C A019279 The number of divisors of a(n) is equal to A000043(n), if there are no odd superperfect numbers. - Omar E. Pol (info(AT)polprimos.com), Feb 29 2008 %C A019279 The sum of divisors of a(n) is the n-th Mersenne prime A000668(n), provided that there are no odd superperfect numbers. - Omar E. Pol (info(AT)polprimos.com), Mar 11 2008 %C A019279 Largest proper divisor of A075398(n) if there are no odd superperfect numbers. - Omar E. Pol (info(AT)polprimos.com), Apr 25 2008 %C A019279 Indices of hexagonal numbers (A000384) that are also even perfect numbers, if there are no odd superperfect numbers. [From Omar E.
