Professor-Mary P. Dolciani, of Hunter College of the City Uni­ versity of New York, herself an exceptionally talented and en­ thusiastic teacher and writer, had been contemplating ways of furthering the ideal of excellence in mathematical exposition. At the same time, the Association had come into possession of the manuscript for the present volume, a collection of essays which seemed not to fit precisely into any of the existing Associa­ tion series, and yet which obviously merited publication because of its interesting content and lucid expository style. It was only natural, then, that Professor Dolciani should elect to implement her objective by establishing a revolving fund to initiate this series of MATHEMATICAL EXPOSITIONS.

    POWERFUL AMICABLE NUMBERS PAUL POLLACK P Abstract. Let s(n) := djn; d<n d denote the sum of the proper di- visors of the natural number n. Two distinct positive integers n and m are said to form an amicable pair if s(n) = m and s(m) = n; in this case, both n and m are called amicable numbers. The first example of an amicable pair, known already to the ancients, is f220; 284g. We do not know if there are infinitely many amicable pairs. In the opposite direction, Erd}osshowed in 1955 that the set of amicable numbers has asymptotic density zero. Let ` ≥ 1. A natural number n is said to be `-full (or `-powerful) if p` divides n whenever the prime p divides n. As shown by Erd}osand 1=` Szekeres in 1935, the number of `-full n ≤ x is asymptotically c`x , as x ! 1. Here c` is a positive constant depending on `. We show that for each fixed `, the set of amicable `-full numbers has relative density zero within the set of `-full numbers. 1. Introduction P Let s(n) := djn; d<n d be the sum of the proper divisors of the natural number n. Two distinct natural numbers n and m are said to form an ami- cable pair if s(n) = m and s(m) = n; in this case, both n and m are called amicable numbers. The first amicable pair, 220 and 284, was known already to the Pythagorean school. Despite their long history, we still know very little about such pairs.

Let f (n) be the number of distinct exponents in the prime factorization of the natural number n. We prove some results about the distribution of f (n). In particular, for any positive integer k, we obtain that #{n ≤ x : f (n) = k}∼Ak x and Bx(log log x)k #{n ≤ x : f (n) = ω(n) − k}∼ , k! log x as x →+∞,whereω(n) is the number of prime factors of n and Ak, B > 0 are some explicit constants.

  • Some Problems in Partitio Numerorum
    J. Austral. Math. Soc. (Series A) 27 (1979), 319-331 SOME PROBLEMS IN PARTITIO NUMERORUM P. ERDOS and J. H. LOXTON (Received 24 April 1977) Communicated by J. Pitman Abstract We consider some unconventional partition problems in which the parts of the partition are restricted by divisibility conditions, for example, partitions n = ax +... + a* into positive integers «!, ..., ak such that ax | a2 I ••• I ak. Some rather weak estimates for the various partition functions are obtained. Subject classification (Amer. Math. Soc. (MOS) 1970): 10 A 45, 10 J 20. 1. Introduction In this paper, we shall consider various partition problems in which the parts of the partitions are restricted by divisibility conditions. Most of our remarks concern the following two situations: (i) 'Chain partitions', that is partitions n = a1 + ... +ak into positive integers a1,...,ak such that a^a^ ...\ak. (ii) 'Umbrella partitions', that is partitions into positive integers such that every part divides the largest one. Our aim is to estimate the partition functions which arise in each case for partitions with distinct parts and for partitions in which repetitions are allowed. This work arose from a question of R. W. Robinson about chain partitions with repetitions which, in turn, came from attempts to count a certain kind of tree. This particular partition problem is closely connected with wj-ary partitions, that is partitions as sums of powers of a fixed integer m, which are obvious instances of the types of partitions described above. In another direction, the problem of representing numbers by umbrella partitions has some connections with the 'practical numbers' of Srinivasan.

    On Zumkeller Numbers K.P.S. Bhaskara Rao Yuejian Peng Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Indiana State University Terre Haute, IN, 47809, USA Email: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract Generalizing the concept of a perfect number, Sloane’s sequences of integers A083207 lists the sequence of integers n with the property: the positive factors of n can be partitioned into two disjoint parts so that the sums of the two parts are equal. Following [4] Clark et al., we shall call such integers, Zumkeller numbers. Generalizing this, in [4] a number n is called a half-Zumkeller number if the positive proper factors of n can be partitioned into two disjoint parts so that the sums of the two parts are equal. An extensive study of properties of Zumkeller numbers, half-Zumkeller numbers and their relation to practical numbers is undertaken in this paper. In [4] Clark et al., announced results about Zumkellers numbers and half- Zumkeller numbers and suggested two conjectures. In the present paper we shall settle one of the conjectures, prove the second conjecture in some special cases and arXiv:0912.0052v1 [math.NT] 1 Dec 2009 prove several results related to the second conjecture. We shall also show that if there is an even Zumkeller number that is not half-Zumkeller it should be bigger than 7.2334989 × 109. 1 Introduction A positive integer n is called a perfect number if n equals the sum of its proper positive factors. Generalizing this concept in 2003, Zumkeller published in Sloane’s sequences of inte- gers A083207 a sequence of integers n with the property that the positive factors of n 1 can be partitioned into two disjoint parts so that the sums of the two parts are equal.

Saikia2 1 Department of Mathematics, B.P.C.College, Assam, 781127, India 2 Department of Mathematics, Gauhati University, Assam, 781014, India Received: 10 Jan. 2016, Revised: 18 Sep. 2016, Accepted: 20 Sep. 2016 Published online: 1 Jan. 2017 Abstract: We call a positive integer n be a near 3−perfect number if σ(n) = 3n + d, where σ(n) is the divisor function and d is a α t proper divisor of n. In this paper, we have derived all near 3−perfects of the form 2 p1 p2, where p1 and p2 are distinct odd primes with p1 < p2 and α ≥ 1, 1 ≤ t ≤ 2. There are only ten such numbers. Moreover, we have also obtained some examples of even near 3−perfect numbers with four distinct prime factors. Keywords: Multi perfect number, Hyperperfect number, Near perfect number 1 Introduction The abudancy index I(n) for any positive integers n is associated with the divisor function σ(n) and is defined as σ(n) I(n)= n . Since k−perfect numbers are solutions of the Well known divisor function σ(n) is the sum of all positive equation σ(n)= kn, so I(n)= k. For abundant numbers, divisors of n including 1 and n itself. For any integer k > 1, I(n) > 2 and for deficient numbers, I(n) < 2. a positive integer n is called a k−perfect or multi perfect For any positive integer k > 1, we call a number n be number [3,7], if σ(n)= kn.
