Is there a positive odd $n$ such that $\sigma(\sigma(n)) = \sigma(\sigma(n)-n)+\sigma(n)$?
Let $\sigma(n)$ denote the sum of the divisors of $n$. (https://oeis.org/A000203)
It is relatively easy to find numbers $n$ such that $f(g(n)) = g(f(n))$ where $f(n) = \sigma(n)$ and $g(n) = \sigma(n) ...

Catalan numbers, Pochhammer symbols, Stirling numbers of the second kind, and sums of aliquot parts
For integers $N\geq 1$ we define $$s(N)=\sigma(N)-N$$ the aliquot sum function, where $\sigma(N)=\sum_{1\leq d|N}d$ is the sum of divisors function.
Here $(x)_n$ is the Pochhammer symbol and ${a\...

How to compute/estimate the least $k$ such that there exist $n$ consecutive integers each having a prime factor $\le k$?
Let $a_n$ be the least integer $k$ such that there exist $n$ consecutive integers each with a prime factor $\le k$. For example, $a_{13} \le 11$ because the 13 consecutive integers $114,115,\ldots,126$...

Two conjectures inspired from an equation involving the sum of divisors and the Euler's totient function due to Iannucci
In this post I add two equations involving the sum of divisors $\sigma(n)$ and the Euler's totient function, denoted in this post as $\varphi(n)$, and after I ask about a conjecture involving these. ...

A question concerning the strange arithmetic derivation
This question is related to Strange (or stupid) arithmetic derivation. The original question whether an unbounded sequence of iterates exists is still unanswered.
$$n=\prod_{i=1}^{k}p_i^{\alpha_i} \...

A definition related to pseudoprimes and the Dedekind psi function
In this post we consider that $\psi(k)$ denotes the Dedekind psi function. Wikipedia has an artcle dedicated to this arithmetic function Dedekind psi function defined for a positive integers $m>1$ ...

Asymptotic size for the number of terms not exceeding $n$ in the class $r$ for a classification of the type Erdös-Selfridge for square-free integers
It is possible to define a classification similar than the Erdös-Selfridge classification of primes for different sequences. Please ee [1], section A18 and the references cited in this book. Because ...
