Abstract

Two numbers m and n are considered amicable if the sum of their proper divisors, s( n) and s( m), satisfy s( n) == m and s( m) == n. In 1981, Pomerance showed that the sum of the reciprocals of all such numbers, P, is a constant. We obtain both a lower and an upper bound on the value of P. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
