We shall show that $9$ is the only odd infinitary superperfect numbers.

We shall show that 9, 165 are all of the odd unitary super perfect numbers.

We shall show that $2160$ is the only biunitary triperfect number divisible by $27=3^3$.

A perfect number is a number whose divisors add up to twice the number itself. The existence of odd perfect numbers is a millennia-old unsolved problem. This note proposes a proof of the nonexistence of odd perfect numbers. More generally,…

We introduce notions of bi-unitary, bi*-unitary and bi**-unitary harmonic numbers, along with their preliminary study.

Some new results concerning the equation $\sigma(N)=aM, \sigma(M)=bN$ are proved. As a corollary, there are only finitely many odd superperfect numbers with a fixed number of distinct prime factors.

We give all non splitting bi-unitary perfect polynomials over the prime field of two elements, which have only Mersenne polynomials as odd irreducible divisors.

Let $\sigma(n)$ be the sum of the positive divisors of $n$. A number $n$ is said to be 2-near perfect if $\sigma(n) = 2n +d_1 +d_2 $, where $d_1$ and $d_2$ are distinct positive divisors of $n$. We give a complete description of those $n$…

The only (unitary) perfect polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_2$ that are products of $x$, $x+1$ and Mersenne primes are precisely the nine (resp. nine "classes") known ones. This follows from a new result about the factorization of $M^{2h+1}…

In this paper, we prove the conjecture that if there is an odd perfect number, then there are infinitely many of them.

We present a construction of 1-perfect binary codes, which gives a new lower bound on the number of such codes. We conjecture that this lower bound is asymptotically tight.

We give, in this paper, all bi-unitary perfect polynomials over the prime field $\mathbb{F}_2$, with at most four irreducible factors.

A number is perfect if it is the sum of its proper divisors; here we call a finite group `perfect' if its order is the sum of the orders of its proper normal subgroups. (This conflicts with standard terminology but confusion should not…

We consider Diophantine quintuples $\{a, b, c, d, e\}$. These are sets of distinct positive integers, the product of any two elements of which is one less than a perfect square. It is conjectured that there are no Diophantine quintuples; we…

In this note, we present some new results on even almost perfect numbers which are not powers of two. In particular, we show that $2^{r+1} < b$, if ${2^r}{b^2}$ is an even almost perfect number.

It is shown that there exist infinitely many triangular numbers (congruent to 3 mod 12) which cannot be the distance between two perfect numbers.

We identify all non-splitting bi-unitary perfect polynomials over the field $\mathbb{F}_4$, which admit at most four irreducible divisors. There is an infinite number of such divisors.

We establish supercongruences for two kinds of Ap\'ery-like numbers, which involve Bernoulli numbers and Bernoulli polynomials. Conjectural supercongruences of the same type for another four kinds of Ap\'ery-like numbers are also proposed.

A perfect number is a positive integer n such that n equals the sum of all positive integer divisors of n that are less than n. That is, although n is a divisor of n, n is excluded from this sum. Thus 6 = 1 + 2 + 3 is perfect, but 12 < 1 +…

While the general form of even perfect numbers is well-known, the existence or non-existence of odd perfect numbers is still an open problem. We address this problem and prove that if a natural number is odd, then it's not perfect.
