Abstract
Let to be the sum of the positive divisors of . A number is non-deficient if . We establish new lower bounds for the number of distinct prime factors of an odd non-deficient number in terms of its second smallest, third smallest and fourth smallest prime factors. We also obtain tighter bounds for odd perfect numbers. We also discuss the behavior of , , and related sequences.
