Definition talk:Abundance

Also known as Excedent- should this be noted?

A few papers have referred to this quantity as the excedent function. See in particular N. Davis, D. Klyve, N. Kraght, On the difference between an integer and the sum of its proper divisors. Involve, 6(4), 493-504, (2013). See also R. Dean, R. Erdman, D. Klyve, E. Lycette, M. Pidde, Melissa; D. Wheel, Families of values of the excedent function $\sigma(n)-2n$, Missouri J. Math. Sci. 27, No. 1, 37-46 (2015). Should this be noted on the definition page? JoshuaZ (talk) 20:25, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
