COMMENTS
The generalized k-super abundant numbers are those such that sigma_k(n)/(n^k) > sigma_k(m)/(m^k) for all m < n, where sigma_k(n) is the sum of the k-th powers of the divisors of n.
1-super abundant numbers are A004394. 0-super abundant numbers are A002182.
Pillai called these numbers "highly abundant numbers of the 2nd order". - Amiram Eldar, Jun 30 2019

FORMULA
Limit_{n->oo} A001157(a(n))/a(n)^2 = zeta(2) (A013661). - Amiram Eldar, Sep 25 2022
EXAMPLE
For i=24, sigma_2(24)/(24^2)=850/576=1.47569, a new record, thus 24 is in the sequence.
