On a problem of De Koninck

Tomohiro Yamada

Vol. 10 (2021), No. 3, 249–260
Abstract

Let σ(n) denote the sum of divisors of n and γ(n) denote the product of distinct prime divisors of n. We shall show that, if n1,1782 and σ(n) = (γ(n))2, then there exist odd (not necessarily distinct) primes p,p and (not necessarily odd) distinct primes qi (i = 1,2,,k) such that p,pn, qi2n (i = 1,2,,k), with k 3, and q1|σ(p2), qi+1|σ(qi2) (1 i k 1), p|σ(qk2).

Keywords
sum of divisors, square-free core, radical of an integer, De Koninck's conjecture, directed multigraphs, directed acyclic multigraphs
