COMMENTS

3*n/8*ln(ln(n)) < Phi(n) < n, for n > 30.

a(30) = 9377213.

FORMULA

a(n)=Min{x : invphi(x+j) is empty exactly for j=0..2n-2}

EXAMPLE

n=6: a(6)=865 because it is the first number initiating a chain of exactly 2.6-1=11 consecutive integers, {865,...,875}, such that each has no totient-inverse.

MATHEMATICA

a = Table[0, {5*10^7}]; Do[b = EulerPhi[n]/2; If[b < 5*10^7 + 1, a[[b]]++ ], {n, 3, 5*10^8}]; (* used to find a(7) *) Do[ If[ a[[n]] == a[[n + 1]] == a[[n + 2]] == a[[n + 3]] == a[[n + 4]] == a[[n + 5]] == a[[n + 6]] == 0, Print[2n - 1]], {n, 1, 5*10^7 -6}]
