cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

The equation sigma_2(m) = sigma_2(m + k) has infinitely many solutions where k >= 2 and k is even (J.-M. De Koninck).
From Amiram Eldar, Apr 19 2024: (Start)
De Koninck's proof is based on the assumption of Schinzel's hypothesis H. If q, r = q + 2, s = q^2 + q + 1, and p = q^2 + 3*q + 3 are all primes, then p*q is a term (the values of q+1 are the terms of A268043).
The equation sigma_2(m) = sigma_2(m + 1) has only one solution: m = 6. (End)

Examples

			For m=24, sigma_2(24) = sigma_2(26) = 850.
