For any numbers, A and B, both appearing in the sequence, if gcd(A,B)=1, then A*B is also in the sequence. - Andrew Weimholt, Jul 01 2008
The primes in this sequence are the NSW primes (A088165). For the terms less than 2^31, the only powers greater than 1 appearing in the prime factorization of numbers are 3^3 and 13^2. It appears that all terms are +-1 (mod 8). See A224988 for even numbers. - T. D. Noe, Jul 06 2008, Apr 25 2013
A basis for this sequence is given by A002315. This can be considered as the convergents of quasiregular continued fractions or a special 6-ary numeration system (see A. S. Fraenkel) which gives the characterization of positions of some heap or Wythoff game. What is the Sprague-Grundy function of this game?
Sequence generalized: sigma_r-numbers are numbers n for which sigma_r(n)/sigma_0(n) = c^r. Sigma_r(n) denotes sum of r-th powers of divisors of n; c,r positive integers. This sequence are sigma_2-numbers, A003601 are sigma_1-numbers. In a weaker form we have sigma_r(n)/sigma_0(n) = c^t; t is an integer from <1,r>. - Ctibor O. Zizka, Jul 14 2008
The primes in this sequence are prime numerators with an odd index in A001333. The RMS values (A141812) of prime RMS numbers (this sequence) are prime Pell numbers (A000129) with an odd index. - Ctibor O. Zizka, Aug 13 2008
The set of RMS numbers n could be split into subsets according to the number and form of divisors of n. By definition, RMS(n) = sqrt(sigma_2(n) / sigma_0(n)) should be an integer. Now consider some examples. For n prime number, n has 2 divisors [1,n] and we have to solve Pell's equation n^2 = 2*C^2 - 1; C positive integer. The solution is a prime n of the form u(i) = 6*u(i-1) - u(i-2), i >= 2, u(0)=1, u(1)=7, known as an NSW prime (A088165). For n = p_1*p_2, p_1 and p_2 primes, n has 4 divisors {1; p_1; p_2; p_1*p_2}. There are 2 possible cases. Firstly p^2 = (2*C)^2 - 1 which does not hold for any prime p; secondly p_1^2 = 2*C_1^2 - 1 and p_2^2 = 2*C_2^2 - 1; C_1 and C_2 positive integers.
The solution is that p_1 and p_2 are different NSW primes. If n = p^3, divisors of n are {1; p; p^2; p^3} and we have to solve the Diophantine equation (p^8 - 1)/(p - 1) = (2*C)^2. This equation has no solution for any prime p. RMS numbers n with 4 divisors are only of the form n = p_1*p_2, with p_1 and p_2 NSW primes. The general case is n = p_1*...*p_t, n has 2^t divisors, and for t >= 3, NSW primes are not the only solution. If some of the prime divisors are equals p_i = p_j = ... = p_k, the general case n = p_1*...*p_t is "degenerate" because of the multiplicity of prime factors and therefore n has fewer than 2^t divisors. (End)
General recurrence is a(n) = (a(1)-1)*a(n-1) - a(n-2), a(1) >= 4, lim_{n->infinity} a(n) = x*(k*x+1)^n, k = a(1) - 3, x = (1 + sqrt((a(1)+1)/(a(1)-3)))/2. Examples in OEIS: a(1)=4 gives A002878, whose prime terms give A121534. a(1)=5 gives A001834, whose prime terms give A086386. a(1)=6 gives A030221, whose prime terms {29, 139, 3191, ...} are not a sequence on the OEIS. a(1)=7 gives A002315, whose prime terms give A088165. a(1)=8 gives A033890; the OEIS does not have its prime terms as a sequence (do there exist any prime terms?). a(1)=9 gives A057080, whose prime terms {71, 34649, 16908641, ...} are not a sequence in the OEIS. a(1)=10 gives A057081, whose prime terms {389806471, 192097408520951, ...} are not a sequence in the OEIS. - Ctibor O. Zizka, Sep 02 2008
16 of the first 1660 terms are even (the smallest is 2217231104). The first 16 even terms are all divisible by 30976. - Donovan Johnson, Apr 16 2013
