COMMENT

It is conjectured that iteration of this function will always reach 1. This implies the non-existence of odd perfect numbers. This is equivalent to the same question for A000593, which can be expressed as the sum of the divisors of the odd part of n.

Up to 20000000, there are only two odd numbers with a(n) and a(a(n)) both >= n: 81 and 18966025.

FORMULA

Multiplicative with a(p^e) = oddpart((p^{e+1}-1)/(p-1)), where oddpart(n) = A000265(n) is the largest odd divisor of n.

PROGRAM

(PARI) oddpart(n)=n/2^valuation(n, 2)

a(n)=oddpart(sigma(n))
