Abstract
Let n be a positive integer. We investigate the sequences ((Sm(n))m, which concerns the iteration of the odd divisor function S, given by (Formula presented.) In this article, we introduced and studied the following invariants: order, m-gonal shape number, type, convexity, and area of n derived from Sm(n). For m = 3, 4, 5, we classify m-gonal shape odd prime integers. According to some numerical computational evidence in the Appendix (see supplemental data), we state conjectures and questions with respect to the existence problem for m-gonal shape numbers. An inductive algorithm for finding m + 1-gonal shape prime integers when an m-gonal shape integer is given. We give some examples and illustrations, for our conjectures and questions.
