COMMENTS

Makowski and Schinzel conjectured in 1964 that a(n)=sigma(phi(n))>=n/2 for all n (B42 of Guy Unsolved Problems...). This has been verified for various classes of numbers and proved to be true in general if it is true for squarefree integers (see Cohen's paper). - Antonio G. Astudillo (afg_astudillo(AT)hotmail.com), Sep 07 2002
