COMMENTS
Previous name: Aliquot predecessors with the largest values.
Find each node's predecessors in aliquot sequences and choose the largest predecessor.
Climb the aliquot trees on shortest paths (see A135245 = Climb the aliquot trees on thickest branches).
The sequence starts at offset 2, since all primes satisfy sigma(n)-n = 1. - Michel Marcus, Nov 11 2014

EXAMPLE
a(25) = 143 since 25 has 3 predecessors (95,119,143), 143 being the largest.
a(5) = 0 since it has no predecessors (see Untouchables - A005114).

seq[max_] := Module[{s = Table[0, {n, 1, max}], i}, Do[If[(i = DivisorSigma[1, n] - n) <= max, s[[i]] = Max[s[[i]], n]], {n, 2, (max - 1)^2}]; Rest @ s]; seq[50]
