Abstract

Let σ(n)\sigma(n) be the sum of the positive divisors of nn. A number nn is said to be 2-near perfect if σ(n)=2n+d1+d2\sigma(n) = 2n +d_1 +d_2 , where d1d_1 and d2d_2 are distinct positive divisors of nn. We give a complete description of those nn which are 2-near perfect and of the form n=2kpin=2^k p^i where pp is prime and i{1,2}i \in \{1,2\}. We also prove related results under the additional restriction where d1d2=nd_1d_2=n.
