antiharmonic number
The antiharmonic, a.k.a. contraharmonic mean of some set ofpositive numbers is defined as the sum of their squaresdivided by their sum. There exist positive integers whose sum of all their positive divisors dividesthe sum of the squares of those divisors. Forexample, 4 is such an integer:
Such integers are calledantiharmonic numbers (or contraharmonic numbers),since the contraharmonic mean of their positive divisors is aninteger.
The antiharmonic numbers form theHTTP://oeis.org/OEIS integer sequencehttp://oeis.org/search?q=A020487&language=english&go=SearchA020487:
Using the expressions of divisor function (http://planetmath.org/DivisorFunction), the condition for aninteger to be an antiharmonic number, is that the quotient
is an integer; here the ’s are the distinct prime divisorsof and ’s their multiplicities. The last form issimplified to
(1) |
The OEIS sequence A020487 contains all nonzero perfect squares,since in the case of such numbers the antiharmonic mean (1) ofthe divisors has the form
(cf. irreducibility of binomials with unity coefficients).
Note. It would in a manner be legitimated to definea positive integer to be an antiharmonic number (or anantiharmonic integer) if it is the antiharmonic mean of twodistinct positive integers; see integer contraharmonic meanand contraharmonic Diophantine equation (http://planetmath.org/ContraharmonicDiophantineEquation).
