Comments

The characteristic shape of the symmetric representation of a(n) consists in that in the main diagonal of the diagram the width is equal to zero.

So knowing this characteristic shape we can know if a number has middle divisors (or not) just by looking at the diagram, even ignoring the concept of middle divisors.

Therefore we can see a geometric pattern of the distribution of the numbers with no middle divisors in the stepped pyramid described in A245092.

For the definition of "width" see A249351.

All terms are even numbers.

Examples

			a(4) = 18 because the sum of divisors of the fourth number with no middle divisors (i.e., 10) is 1 + 2 + 5 + 10 = 18.
On the other hand we can see that in the main diagonal of every diagram the width is equal to zero as shown below.
Illustration of initial terms:
m(n) = A071561(n).
