Formula

a(n) = Min({x; Card(InvPhi(x)) = 2n-1}); a(1)=0 because of Carmichael conjecture.

Example

For n = 7: 2n-1 = 13, a(7) = Min(InvPhi(13)) = Min({396,400,420,552,560,660}) = 396.

Prog

(PARI) a(n) = {if (n==1, return (0)); my(k=1); while(#invphi(k) != 2*n-1, k++); k; } \\ Michel Marcus, May 13 2020
