Let σ*(N) denote the sum of the unitary divisors of N, that is,

It is easily seen that σ*(N) is multiplicative. In fact σ*(l) = 1 if N > 1 has the prime decomposition . Let us define a positive integer to be unitary perfect whenever σ*(N) = 2N. The first four such numbers are 6, 60, 90 and 87, 360. In a recent abstract [ l ] published by one of us, the last of these numbers was overlooked. No other unitary perfect numbers are known to the authors.
