Records for the sequence of the absolute values are in A075728 and the indices of these records in A074918. - R. J. Mathar, Mar 02 2007
a(n) = 1 iff n is a power of 2. a(n) = n - 1 iff n is prime. - Omar E. Pol, Jan 30 2014
If a(n) = 1 then n is called a least deficient number or an almost perfect number. All the powers of 2 are least deficient numbers but it is not known if there exists a least deficient number that is not a power of 2. See A000079. - Jianing Song, Oct 13 2019
It is not known whether there are any -1's in this sequence. See comment in A033880. - Antti Karttunen, Feb 02 2020

			For n = 10 the divisors of 10 are 1, 2, 5, 10, so the deficiency of 10 is 10 minus the sum of its proper divisors or simply 10 - 5 - 2 - 1 = 2. - _Omar E. Pol_, Dec 27 2013

Sequence can be represented in arbitrarily many ways as a difference of the form (n - f(n)) - (g(n) - n), where f and g are any two sequences whose sum f(n)+g(n) = sigma(n). Here are few examples:
a(n) = A325314(n) - A325313(n) = A325814(n) - A034460(n) = A325978(n) - A325977(n).

a(n) = A326049(n) - A326050(n) = A326055(n) - A326054(n) = A326044(n) - A326045(n).
a(n) = A326058(n) - A326059(n) = A326068(n) - A326067(n).

Restricted growth sequence transform of ordered pair [A000120(n), A033879(n)], or equally, of ordered pair [A000120(n), A294898(n)].
For all i, j:
  A318311(i) = A318311(j) => a(i) = a(j),
  a(i) = a(j) => A286449(i) = A286449(j),
  a(i) = a(j) => A294898(i) = A294898(j).
In the scatter plot one can see the effects of both base-2 related A000120 (binary weight of n) and prime factorization related A033879 (deficiency of n) graphically mixed: from the former, a square grid pattern, and from the latter the black rays that emanate from the origin. The same is true for A323898, while in the ordinal transform of this sequence, A331184, such effects are harder to visually discern. - Antti Karttunen, Jan 13 2020
