In this paper, we have discussed non trivial lower and upper bounds of I(n) for some special class of numbers like Quasi perfect numbers, Super hyperperfect numbers, Near perfect numbers and Hyperperfect numbers. Keywords: Quasi perfect number, Super hyperperfect number, Near perfect number, Hyperperfect number p−1 1 Introduction of n. If m = 2 Mp is an even perfect number, where p p both p and Mp = 2 − 1 are primes, then n = 2m, n = 2 m We known divisor function σ(n) is the sum of all positive and n = (2p − 1)m are near perfect numbers. There are divisors of n , including 1 and n itself. The abundancy finitely many near perfect numbers other than these three p index I(n) for any positive integer n is associated with the shapes. The primes of the form Mp = 2 − 1 are called divisor function σ(n) and is defined as Mersenne primes.

Let σ(n) denote the sum of positive divisors of the natural number n. A natural number is perfect if σ(n) = 2n. This concept was already generalized in form of superperfect numbers σ2(n)= σ(σ(n)) = k+1 k−1 2n and hyperperfect numbers σ(n)= k n + k . In this paper some new ways of generalizing perfect numbers are inves- tigated, numerical results are presented and some conjectures are estab- lished. 1 Introduction For the natural number n we denote the sum of positive divisors by arXiv:1008.0155v1 [math.NT] 1 Aug 2010 σ(n)= X d. d|n Definition 1 A positive integer n is called perfect number if it is equal to the sum of its proper divisors.

Juni 136 D-10623 Berlin, Germany [email protected] Abstract In this paper, we get some new formulas for generalized perfect numbers and their relationship between arithmetical functions φ, σ concerning Ore’s harmonic numbers and by using these formulas we present some examples. Mathematics Subject Classification: 11A25, 11A41, 11Y70 Keywords: perfect number, 2-hyperperfect number, Euler’s totient function, Ore harmonic number 1 Introduction In this section, we aimed to provide general information on perfect numbers shortly. Here and throughout the paper we assume m, n, k, d, b are positive integers and p is prime. N is called perfect number, if it is equal to the sum of its proper divisors. The first few perfect numbers are 6, 28, 496, 8128,... since, 6 = 1+2+3 28 = 1+2+4+7+14 496 = 1+2+4+8+16+31+62+124+248 Euclid discovered the first four perfect numbers which are generated by the formula 2n−1(2n−1), called Euclid number. In his book ’Elements’ he presented the proof of the formula which gives an even perfect number whenever 2n −1is 1338 Recep G¨ur and Nihal Bircan prime. In order for 2n −1 to be a prime n must itself be a prime.
