AN UPPER BOUND FOR THE NUMBER OF ODD MULTIPERFECT NUMBERS
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 January 2013
Abstract
A natural number $n$ is called $k$-perfect if $\sigma (n)= kn$. In this paper, we show that for any integers $r\geq 2$ and $k\geq 2$, the number of odd $k$-perfect numbers $n$ with $\omega (n)\leq r$ is bounded by $\left({\lfloor {4}^{r} { \mathop{ \log } \nolimits }_{3} 2\rfloor + r\atop r} \right){ \mathop{ \sum } \nolimits }_{i= 1}^{r} \left({\lfloor kr/ 2\rfloor \atop i} \right)$, which is less than ${4}^{{r}^{2} } $ when $r$ is large enough.
