[seqfan] Re: A007357 infinitary perfect number b-file

[Vladimir Shevelev]

Concerning the mentioned first 4 terms of A007357. Let A050376(n)=a(n), A007357(n)=b(n).
We have b(1)=6=a(1)*a(2)=2*3; b(2)=60=a(2)*a(3)*a(4)=3*4*5; b(3)=90=a(1)*a(4)*a(6)=2*5*9; b(4)=36720=a(2)*a(4)*a(6)*a(9)*a(10)=3*5*9*16*17. This is a full correspondence!
In 1981, I introduced in paper "On an analog of the Euler function", Proceeding of the North-Caucasus Center of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (Rostov na Donu) (1981) No. 2, 13-17,
the notion of divisibility in Fermi-Dirac arithmetic (although the term "Fermi-Dirac" I introduced later, in 1996) which is coincides (as it is easy to prove) with infinitary divisibility. Namely, to every positive number n we correspond a inique set Q(n)of distinct terms of A050376 (to 1 corresponds the empty set). Then we call d a Fermi-Dirac divisor, if Q(d) is a subset of Q(n).
A number n we call Fermi-Dirac perfect, if it is sum of all
proper Fermi-Dirac divisors of n. E.g., Q(60)={3,4,5}. Its proper Fermi-Dirac divisors are 1,3,4,5,3*4,3*5,4*5 and we have 1+3+4+5+12+15+20=60.
