Bi-unitary multiperfect numbers, IV(b)
A divisor d of a positive integer n is called a unitary divisor if \gcd(d, n/d)=1; and d is called a bi-unitary divisor of n if the greatest common unitary divisor of d and n/d is unity. The concept of a bi-unitary divisor is due to D. Surynarayana (1972). Let \sig^{**}(n) denote the sum of the bi-unitary divisors of n. A positive integer n is called a bi-unitary multiperfect number if \sig^{**}(n)=kn for some k\geq 3. For k=3 we obtain the bi-unitary triperfect numbers. Peter Hagis (1987) proved that there are no odd bi-unitary multiperfect numbers. The present paper is part IV(b) in a series of papers on even bi-unitary multiperfect numbers. In parts I, II and III we considered bi-unitary triperfect numbers of the form n=2^{a}u, where 1\leq a \leq 6 and u is odd. In part IV(a) we solved partly the case a=7. We proved that if n is a bi-unitary triperfect number of the form n=2^{7}.5^{b}.17^{c}.v, where (v, 2.5.17)=1, then b\geq 2. We then solved completely the case b=2. In the present paper we give some partial results concerning the case b\ge 3 under the assumption 3\nmid n.
