COMMENT
|
A perfect number n is defined by sigma(n) = 2n, so the value of i(n) = |sigma(n)-2n| measures the degree of perfection of n. The larger i(n) is, the more "imperfect" n is. I call the numbers n such that i(k) < i(n) for all k < n "highly-imperfect numbers".
RECORDS transform of |A033879|.
Initial terms are odd primes but then even numbers appear.
