Also total number of parts in all partitions of n into equal parts that do not contain 1 as a part. - Omar E. Pol, Jan 16 2013
Related concepts: If a(n) < n, n is said to be deficient, if a(n) > n, n is abundant, and if a(n) = n, n is perfect. If there is a cycle of length 2, so that a(n) = b and a(b) = n, b and n are said to be amicable. If there is a longer cycle, the numbers in the cycle are said to be sociable. See examples. - Juhani Heino, Jul 17 2017
Sum of the smallest parts in the partitions of n into two parts such that the smallest part divides the largest. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Dec 22 2017
a(n) is also the total number of parts congruent to 0 mod k in the partitions of k*n into equal parts that do not contain k as a part (the comment dated Jan 16 2013 is the case for k = 1). - Omar E. Pol, Nov 23 2019
Fixed points are in A000396. - Alois P. Heinz, Mar 10 2024

For n = 44, sum of divisors of n = sigma(n) = 84; so a(44) = 84-44 = 40.

From 1 to 17, all n are deficient, except 6 and 12 seen below. See A005100.
Abundant numbers: a(12) = 16, a(18) = 21. See A005101.
Perfect numbers: a(6) = 6, a(28) = 28. See A000396.
Amicable numbers: a(220) = 284, a(284) = 220. See A259180.
Sociable numbers: 12496 -> 14288 -> 15472 -> 14536 -> 14264 -> 12496. See A122726. (End)
For n = 10 the sum of the divisors of 10 that are less than 10 is 1 + 2 + 5 = 8. On the other hand, the partitions of 10 into equal parts that do not contain 1 as a part are [10], [5,5], [2,2,2,2,2], there are 8 parts, so a(10) = 8. - _Omar E. Pol_, Nov 24 2019

T(n,k) is the number of cells in the k-th region of the n-th set of regions in a diagram of the symmetry of sigma(n), see example.
Row n is a palindromic composition of sigma(n).
Row sums give A000203.
Row n has length A237271(n).
In the row 2n-1 of triangle both the first term and the last term are equal to n.
If n is an odd prime then row n is [m, m], where m = (1 + n)/2.
The connection with A196020 is as follows: A196020 --> A236104 --> A235791 --> A237591 --> A237593 --> A239660 --> this sequence.
For the boundary segments in an octant see A237591.
For the boundary segments in a quadrant see A237593.
For the boundary segments in the spiral see also A239660.
For the parts in every quadrant of the spiral see A239931, A239932, A239933, A239934.
We can find the spiral on the terraces of the stepped pyramid described in A244050. - Omar E. Pol, Dec 07 2016
T(n,k) is also the area of the k-th terrace, from left to right, at the n-th level, starting from the top, of the stepped pyramid described in A245092 (see Links section). - Omar E. Pol, Aug 14 2018

The total number of cells in the first n set of symmetric regions of the diagram equals A024916(n), the sum of all divisors of all positive integers <= n, hence the total number of cells in the n-th set of symmetric regions of the diagram equals sigma(n) = A000203(n).
For n = 9 the 9th row of A237593 is [5, 2, 2, 2, 2, 5] and the 8th row of A237593 is [5, 2, 1, 1, 2, 5] therefore between both symmetric Dyck paths there are three regions (or parts) of sizes [5, 3, 5], so row 9 is [5, 3, 5].
The sum of divisors of 9 is 1 + 3 + 9 = A000203(9) = 13. On the other hand the sum of the parts of the symmetric representation of sigma(9) is 5 + 3 + 5 = 13, equaling the sum of divisors of 9.
For n = 24 the 24th row of A237593 is [13, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 13] and the 23rd row of A237593 is [12, 5, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 5, 12] therefore between both symmetric Dyck paths there are only one region (or part) of size 60, so row 24 is 60.
The sum of divisors of 24 is 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 12 + 24 = A000203(24) = 60. On the other hand the sum of the parts of the symmetric representation of sigma(24) is 60, equaling the sum of divisors of 24.
Note that the number of *'s in the diagram is 24^2 - A024916(24) = 576 - 491 = A004125(24) = 85.

These are the squares of the entries of the triangle in A235791: T(n,k) = (A235791(n,k))^2.
Row n has length A003056(n) hence the first element of column k is in row A000217(k).
Columns 1-3 (including the initial zeros) are A000290, A008794, A211547.
Also column k lists the partial sums of the k-th column of triangle A196020 which gives an identity for sigma.
Since all the elements of this sequence are squares, we can draw an illustration of the alternating sum of row n step by step, and a symmetric diagram for A000203, A024916, A004125; see example.
For more information about the diagram see A237593.

For n = 6 the sum of all divisors of all positive integers <= 6 is [1] + [1+2] + [1+3] + [1+2+4] + [1+5] + [1+2+3+6] = 1 + 3 + 4 + 7 + 6 + 12 = 33. On the other hand the 6th row of triangle is 36, 4, 1, therefore the alternating row sum is 36 - 4 + 1 = 33, equaling the sum of all divisors of all positive integers <= 6.

The total number of cells in the first n set of symmetric regions of the diagram equals A024916(n). It appears that the total number of cells in the n-th set of symmetric regions of the diagram equals sigma(n) = A000203(n). Example: for n = 12 the 12th row of triangle is 144, 25, 9, 1, hence the alternating sums is 144 - 25 + 9 - 1 = 127. On the other hand we have that A000290(12) - A004125(12) = 144 - 17 = A024916(12) = 127, equaling the total number of cells in the diagram after 12 stages. The number of cells in the 12th set of symmetric regions of the diagram is sigma(12) = A000203(12) = 28. Note that in this case there is only one region. Finally, the number of *'s is A004125(12) = 17.
Note that the diagram is also the top view of the stepped pyramid described in A245092. - _Omar E. Pol_, Feb 12 2018

The alternating sum of the squares of the elements of the n-th row equals the sum of all divisors of all positive integers <= n, i.e., Sum_{k=1..A003056(n)} (-1)^(k-1)*(T(n,k))^2 = A024916(n).
Row n has length A003056(n) hence the first element of column k is in row A000217(k).
For more information see A236104.
The sum of row n gives A060831(n), the sum of the number of odd divisors of all positive integers <= n. - Omar E. Pol, Mar 01 2014. [An equivalent assertion is that the sum of row n of A237048 is the number of odd divisors of n, and this was proved by Hartmut F. W. Hoft in a comment in A237048. - N. J. A. Sloane, Dec 07 2020]
Comments from Franklin T. Adams-Watters on sequences related to the "symmetric representation of sigma" in A235791 and related sequences, Mar 31 2014: (Start)
The place to start is with A235791, which is very simple. Then go to A237591, also very simple, and A237593, still very simple.
You then need to interpret the rows of A237593 as Dyck paths. This interpretation is in terms of run lengths, so 2,1,1,2 means up twice, down once, up once, and down twice. Because the rows of A237593 are symmetric and of even length, this path will always be symmetric.
Now the surprising fact is that the areas enclosed by the Dyck path for n (laid on its side) always includes the area enclosed for n-1; and the number of squares added is sigma(n).
Finally, look at the connected areas enclosed by n but not by n-1; the size of these areas is the symmetric representation of sigma. (End)
From Hartmut F. W. Hoft, Apr 07 2014: (Start)
Mathematica function has been written to check the first property up to n = 20000.
T(n,(sqrt(8n+1)-1)/2+1) = 0 for all n >= 1, which is useful for formulas for A237591 and A237593. (End)
Alternating row sums give A240542. - Omar E. Pol, Apr 16 2014
Conjecture: T(n,k) is also the total number of partitions of all positive integers <= n into exactly k consecutive parts, i.e., the partial column sum of A285898, or in accordance with the triangles of the same family: the partial column sum of A237048. - Omar E. Pol, Apr 28 2017, Nov 24 2020
The above conjecture is true. The proof will be added soon (it uses the generating function for the columns). - N. J. A. Sloane, Nov 24 2020
T(n,k) is also the total length of all line segments between the k-th vertex and the central vertex of the largest Dyck path of the symmetric representation of sigma(n). In other words: T(n,k) is the sum of the last (A003056(n)-k+1) terms of the n-th row of A237591. - Omar E. Pol, Sep 07 2021
T(n,k) is also the Manhattan distance between the k-th vertex and the central vertex of the Dyck path described in the n-th row of the triangle A237593. - Omar E. Pol, Jan 11 2023

T(n,k) is also the number of cells between the k-th vertical line segment (from left to right) and the y-axis in the n-th row of the structure.
Note that the number of horizontal line segments in the n-th row of the structure equals A001227(n), the number of odd divisors of n.
Also the diagram represents the left part of the front view of the pyramid described in A245092. (End)

.
For n = 12 and k = 1 the total length of all line segments between the first vertex and the central vertex of the largest Dyck path is equal to 12, so T(12,1) = 12.
For n = 12 and k = 2 the total length of all line segments between the second vertex and the central vertex of the largest Dyck path is equal to 5, so T(12,2) = 5.
For n = 12 and k = 3 the total length of all line segments between the third vertex and the central vertex of the largest Dyck path is equal to 3, so T(12,3) = 3.
For n = 12 and k = 4 the total length of all line segments between the fourth vertex and the central vertex of the largest Dyck path is equal to 1, so T(12,4) = 1.
Hence the 12th row of triangle is [12, 5, 3, 1]. (End)

Gives an identity for sigma(n): alternating sum of row n equals the sum of divisors of n. For proof see Max Alekseyev link.
Row n has length A003056(n) hence column k starts in row A000217(k).
The number of positive terms in row n is A001227(n), the number of odd divisors of n.
If n = 2^j then the only positive integer in row n is T(n,1) = 2^(j+1) - 1.
If n is an odd prime then the only two positive integers in row n are T(n,1) = 2n - 1 and T(n,2) = n - 2.
If T(n,k) = 3 then T(n+1,k+1) = 1, the first element of the column k+1.
The partial sums of column k give the column k of A236104.
The connection with the symmetric representation of sigma is as follows: A236104 --> A235791 --> A237591 --> A237593 --> A239660 --> A237270.
Alternating sum of row n equals the number of units cubes that protrude from the n-th level of the stepped pyramid described in A245092. - Omar E. Pol, Oct 28 2015
Conjecture: T(n,k) is the difference between the square of the total number of partitions of all positive integers <= n into exactly k consecutive parts, and the square of the total number of partitions of all positive integers < n into exactly k consecutive parts. - Omar E. Pol, Feb 14 2018
From Omar E. Pol, Nov 24 2020: (Start)
T(n,k) is also the number of steps in the first n levels of the k-th double-staircase that has at least one step in the n-th level of the "Double- staircases" diagram, otherwise T(n,k) = 0, (see the Example section).
For the connection with A280851 see also the algorithm of A280850 and the conjecture of A296508. (End)
The number of zeros in the n-th row equals A238005(n). - Omar E. Pol, Sep 11 2021
Apart from the alternating row sums and the sum of divisors function A000203 another connection with Euler's pentagonal theorem is that in the irregular triangle of A238442 the k-th column starts in the row that is the k-th generalized pentagonal number A001318(k) while here the k-th column starts in the row that is the k-th generalized hexagonal number A000217(k). Both A001318 and A000217 are successive members of the same family: the generalized polygonal numbers. - Omar E. Pol, Sep 23 2021
Other triangle with the same row lengths and alternating row sums equals sigma(n) is A252117. - Omar E. Pol, May 03 2022

For n = 15 the divisors of 15 are 1, 3, 5, 15, so the sum of divisors of 15 is 1 + 3 + 5 + 15 = 24. On the other hand, the 15th row of the triangle is 29, 13, 7, 0, 1, so the alternating row sum is 29 - 13 + 7 - 0 + 1 = 24, equaling the sum of divisors of 15.
If n is even then the alternating sum of the n-th row is simpler to evaluate than the sum of divisors of n. For example the sum of divisors of 24 is 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 12 + 24 = 60, and the alternating sum of the 24th row of triangle is 47 - 0 + 13 - 0 + 0 - 0 = 60.

.
The first largest double-staircase has 29 horizontal steps, the second double-staircase has 13 steps, the third double-staircase has 7 steps, and the fifth double-staircases has only one step. Note that the fourth double-staircase does not count because it does not have horizontal steps in the 15th level, so the 15th row of triangle is [29, 13, 7, 0, 1].

Gives an identity for the twice sigma function (A074400), the sum of the even divisors of 2n.
Alternating sum of row n equals A074400(n), i.e., Sum_{k=1..A003056(n)} (-1)^(k-1)*T(n,k) = 2*A000203(n) = A074400(n).
Row n has length A003056(n) hence the first element of column k is in row A000217(k).

For n = 9 the divisors of 2*9 = 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, therefore the sum of the even divisors of 18 is 2 + 6 + 18 = 26. On the other hand the 9th row of triangle is 34, 14, 6, therefore the alternating row sum is 34 - 14 + 6 = 26, equaling the sum of the even divisors of 18.
If n is even then the alternating sum of the n-th row of triangle is simpler than the sum of the even divisors of 2n. Example: for n = 12 the sum of the even divisors of 2*12 = 24 is 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 12 + 24 = 56, and the alternating sum of the 12th row of triangle is 46 - 0 + 10 - 0 = 56.

Gives an identity for the sum of remainders of n mod k, for k = 1,2,3,...,n. Alternating sum of row n equals A004125(n), i.e., Sum_{k=1..A003056(n)} (-1)^(k-1)*T(n,k) = A004125(n).
Row n has length A003056(n) hence the first element of column k is in row A000217(k).

Gives an identity for the abundance of n. Alternating sum of row n equals the abundance of n, i.e., Sum_{k=1..A003056(n)} (-1)^(k-1)*T(n,k) = A033880(n).
Row n has length A003056(n) hence the first element of column k is in row A000217(k).

For n = 15 the divisors of 15 are 1, 3, 5, 15 hence the abundance of 15 is 1 + 3 + 5 + 15 - 2*15 = 1 + 3 + 5 - 15 = -6. On the other hand the 15th row of triangle is -1, 13, 7, 0, 1, hence the alternating row sum is -1 - 13 + 7 - 0 + 1 = -6, equalling the abundance of 15.
If n is even then the alternating sum of the n-th row of triangle is simpler than the sum of divisors of n minus 2*n. Example: the sum of divisors of 24 minus 2*24 is 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 12 + 24 - 2*24 = 60 - 48 = 12, and the alternating sum of the 24th row of triangle is -1 - 0 + 13 - 0 + 0 - 0 = 12.

The first element of column k is in row k^2.
Column k lists k, k-1 zeros, and the positive integers but starting from 2*k+1 interleaved with k-1 zeros.
Row n has only one positive term iff n is a noncomposite number (A008578).
It appears that there are only eight rows that do not contain zeros. The indices of these rows are in A018253 (the divisors of 24).

For n = 9 the divisors of n are 1, 3, 9, so row 9 is 10, 0, 3, because 1*9 = 9 and 3^2 = 9. The sum of row 9 is A000203(9) = 13.
For n = 12 the divisors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, so row 12 is 13, 8, 7, because 1*12 = 12, 2*6 = 12 and 3*4 = 12. The sum of row 12 is A000203(12) = 28.
