COMMENT

Taking any nonperfect number as initial value, does the map x->sigma(x)-2x lead to the cycle (-1,3,-2,7,-6,24,12,4) if during the iteration no perfect number is reached? Example: 124 -> -24 -> 108 -> 64 -> -1 -> 3 -> -2 -> 7 -> -6 -> 24 -> 12 -> 4 and the cycle (-1,3,-2,7,-6,24,12,4) is reached.

FORMULA

Periodic with period (-1, 3, -2, 7, -6, 24, 12, 4) of length 8.
