%F a(1) = 0, a(n) = phi(n) + a(phi(n))

%F a(n) = A053478(n) - n. - _Vladeta Jovovic_, Jul 02 2004

%F Erdős & Subbarao prove that a(n) ~ phi(n) for almost all n. In particular, a(n) < n for almost all n. The proportion of numbers up to N for which a(n) > n is at most 1/log log log log N. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Mar 22 2012

%e a(100) = 71 because the iterations of phi (40, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1) sum to 71.

%t nMax=100; a=Table[0, {nMax}]; Do[e=EulerPhi[n]; a[[n]]=e+a[[e]], {n, 2, nMax}]; a (* _T. D. Noe_ *)
