Hyperperfect number

In number theory, a $k$ -hyperperfect number is a natural number $n$ for which the equality $n=1+k(\sigma (n)-n-1)$ holds, where $σ (n)$ is the divisor function (i.e., the sum of all positive divisors of $n$ ). A hyperperfect number is a $k$ -hyperperfect number for some integer $k$ . Hyperperfect numbers generalize perfect numbers, which are 1-hyperperfect.^[1]

The first few numbers in the sequence of $k$ -hyperperfect numbers are 6, 21, 28, 301, 325, 496, 697, ... (sequence A034897 in the OEIS), with the corresponding values of $k$ being 1, 2, 1, 6, 3, 1, 12, ... (sequence A034898 in the OEIS). The first few $k$ -hyperperfect numbers that are not perfect are 21, 301, 325, 697, 1333, ... (sequence A007592 in the OEIS).

It can be shown that if $k > 1$ is an odd integer and $p={\tfrac {3k+1}{2}}$ and $q=3k+4$ are prime numbers, then ⁠ $p^{2}q$ ⁠ is $k$ -hyperperfect; Judson S. McCranie has conjectured in 2000 that all $k$ -hyperperfect numbers for odd $k > 1$ are of this form, but the hypothesis has not been proven so far. Furthermore, it can be proven that if $p \neq q$ are odd primes and $k$ is an integer such that $k(p+q)=pq-1,$ then $pq$ is $k$ -hyperperfect.

It is also possible to show that if $k > 0$ and $p=k+1$ is prime, then for all $i > 1$ such that $q=p^{i}-p+1$ is prime, $n=p^{i-1}q$ is $k$ -hyperperfect. The following table lists known values of $k$ and corresponding values of $i$ for which $n$ is $k$ -hyperperfect:

There are some even numbers which are hyperperfect for odd factors i.e., k * (sum of odd factors except 1 and itself) + 1 = number. e.g., the first 5 ones include 1300, 271872, 304640, 953344 and 1027584 for k = 3, 349, 353, 837 and 353. All odd hyperperfect numbers are odd factor hyperperfect numbers as they only have odd factors and have no even factors.

1300 has factors = 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 13, 20, 25, 26, 50, 52, 65, 100, 130, 260, 325, 650, 1300

It has odd factors except 1 and itself = 5, 13, 25, 65, 325

Sum of odd factors except 1 and itself = 5 + 13 + 25 + 65 + 325 = 433

1300 - 1 = 1299 and 1299/433 = 3, an integer ^{[citation needed]} ^{[clarification needed]}

Hyperdeficiency

The newly introduced mathematical concept of hyperdeficiency is related to the hyperperfect numbers.

Definition (Minoli 2010): For any integer $n$ and for integer $k > 0$ , define the $k$ -hyperdeficiency (or simply the hyperdeficiency) for the number $n$ as

$\delta _{k}(n)=n(k+1)+(k-1)-k\sigma (n)$

A number $n$ is said to be $k$ -hyperdeficient if $\delta _{k}(n)>0.$

Note that for $k = 1$ one gets $\delta _{1}(n)=2n-\sigma (n),$ which is the standard traditional definition of deficiency.

Lemma: A number $n$ is $k$ -hyperperfect (including $k = 1$ ) if and only if the $k$ -hyperdeficiency of $n$ , $\delta _{k}(n)=0.$

Lemma: A number $n$ is $k$ -hyperperfect (including $k = 1$ ) if and only if for some $k$ , $\delta {k-j}(n)=-\delta _{k+j}(n)$ for at least one $j > 0$ .
