COMMENTS

For n > 4, a(n) is a multiple of 4, but a proof was elusive for a number of years. According to Koshy (2001), P. L. Montgomery "provided an elegant solution using group theory" in 1977, but Montgomery's proof is not quoted in Koshy's book.

Pe wonders if there is a closed form for this sequence, like there is for the Fibonacci numbers (Binet's formula). I wonder if there is a recurrence relation. [From Alonso del Arte, Oct 11 2011]

FORMULA

a(n) = A000010(A000045(n)).

EXAMPLE

a(9) = phi(F(9)) = phi(34) = phi(2 * 17) = 16.
