%N k-imperfect numbers for some k >= 1.

%C For prime powers p^e, define a multiplicative function rho(p^e) = p^e - p^(e-1) + p^(e-2) - ... + (-1)^e. A number n is called k-imperfect if there is an integer k such that n = k*rho(n). Sequence A061020 gives a signed version of the rho function. As with multiperfect numbers (A007691), 2-imperfect numbers are also called imperfect numbers. As shown by Iannucci, when rho(n) is prime, there is sometimes a technique for generating larger imperfect numbers.

%C Zhou and Zhu find 5 more terms, which are in the b-file. - _T. D. Noe_, Mar 31 2009

%C Does this sequence follow Benford's law? - _David A. Corneth_, Oct 30 2017

%C If a term t has a prime factor p from A065508 with exponent 1 and does not have the corresponding prime factor q from A074268, then t*p*q is also a term. - _Michel Marcus_, Nov 22 2017

%C For n >= 1, the least n-imperfect numbers are 1, 2, 6, 993803899780063855042560. - _Michel Marcus_, Feb 13 2018

%C For any m > 0, if n*p^(2m-1) is k-imperfect, q = rho(p^(2m)) is prime and gcd(pq,n) = 1, then n*p^(2m)*q is also k-imperfect. - _M. F. Hasler_, Feb 13 2020
