Abstract
The abundancy index of a positive integer is the ratio between the sum of its divisors and itself. We generalize previous results on abundancy indices by defining a two-variable abundancy index function as where . Specifically, we extend limiting properties of the abundancy index and construct sufficient conditions for rationals greater than one that fail to be in the image of the function .
