extraordinary number
Define the function for integers by
where is the sum of the positive divisors of . A positive integer is said to be an extraordinary number if it is composite and
for any prime factor of and any multiple of .
It has been proved in [1] that the Riemann Hypothesis is true iff 4 is the only extraordinary number. The proof is based on Gronwall’s theorem and Robin’s theorem.
