COMMENTS
An isolated totative, k, of n is a positive integer which is coprime to n, is <= n and is such that neither (k-1) nor (k+1) are coprime to n.
a(2n) = phi(2n)*n, where phi(n) = A000010(n).
FORMULA
a(n) = (n/2) * A132952(n). - Robert G. Wilson v, Sep 13 2007
EXAMPLE
The positive integers which are <= 15 and are coprime to 15 are 1,2,4,7,8,11,13,14. Of these, 1 and 2 are adjacent, 7 and 8 are adjacent and 13 and 14 are adjacent. So the isolated totatives of 15 are 4 and 11. Therefore a(15) = 4 + 11 = 15.
