On the solutions of \(\sigma (n) = \sigma (n+k)\)
Journal of integer sequences, Tome 14 (2011) no. 5
Given a fixed even integer $k$, we show that Schinzel's hypothesis H implies that $\sigma (n) = \sigma (n + k)$ infinitely often. We also discuss the case of odd $k$ and the more general equation $\sigma _{\alpha }(n) = \sigma _{\alpha }(n + k)$.
