摘要

A natural number n is called k-perfect if sigma(n) = kn. In this paper, we show that for any integers r >= 2 and k >= 2, the number of odd k-perfect numbers n with omega(n) <= r is bounded by (left perpendicular4(r)log(3)2right perpendicular+r(r)) Sigma(r)(i=1) (left perpendicularkr/2right perpendicular (i)), which is less than 4(r2) when r is large enough.
