COMMENT

The abundancy index of a number k is sigma(k)/k. - T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com), May 08 2006

The first differences of this sequence, A005347, begin the same as the Fibonacci sequence A000045. - T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com), May 08 2006

a(n+1)=smallest k such such that A005867(k+1)/A002110(k+1) > n+1. - Artur Jasinski (grafix(AT)csl.pl), Nov 06 2008
