[seqfan] Re: Empirical relation for A180169: Sigma(A180162(n)), where A180162(n) is the smallest N such that sigma(N) is an nth power, or 0 if no such N can be found

for

a(n+2) = -(4*(n - 12)*a(n - 1) - 3*(n - 10)*a(n + 1))/(n - 9),a(0)=1,
a(1)=2, a(2)=3

WolframAlpha gives

a(n) = (2^n (5*n-24)+2*(-1)^n)/(2* (n-11))
