Definición

  • In number theory, a superperfect number is a positive integer n that satisfies
    where σ is the divisor summatory function. Superperfect numbers are not a generalization of perfect numbers, but have a common generalization. The term was coined by D. Suryanarayana (1969). The first few superperfect numbers are :
    2, 4, 16, 64, 4096, 65536, 262144, 1073741824, ... (sequence A019279 in the OEIS).
    To illustrate: it can be seen that 16 is a superperfect number as σ(16) = 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 = 31, and σ(31) = 1 + 31 = 32, thus σ(σ(16)) = 32 = 2 × 16. If n is an even superperfect number, then n must be a power of 2, 2k, such that 2k+1 − 1 is a Mersenne prime. It is not known whether there are any odd superperfect numbers. An odd superperfect number n would have to be a square number such that either n or σ(n) is divisible by at least three distinct primes. There are no odd superperfect numbers below 7×1024.
