COMMENTS
Consecutive t satisfying the equation a(t) = 2 are consecutive elements of A028982 (squares and twice squares).
Conjecture: consecutive u satisfying the equation a(u) = 4 are consecutive elements of a sequence defined as follows: (A024614 \ A088535) \ A074384. The conjecture was checked for 10^6 consecutive integers.
EXAMPLE
a(10) = 6 because sigma(10) = 18 is divisible by (tau(1) = 1), (tau(2) = 2), (tau(3) = 2), (tau(4) = 3), (tau(5) = 2), and is not divisible by (tau(6) = 4).
