A135832 Irregular triangle of Section I primes. Row n contains primes p with 2^n < p < 2^(n+1) and phi^n(p) = 2, where phi^n means n iterations of Euler's totient function. 6

COMMENTS

Sequence A135833 gives the number of terms in row n. Shapiro describes how the numbers x with phi^n(x)=2 can be divided into 3 sections: I: 2^n < x < 2^(n+1), II: 2^(n+1) <= x <= 3^n and III: 3^n < x <= 2*3^n. The primes in section I are fairly sparce. All other primes belong to section II. Section III consists of only even numbers. See A058812 for the numbers x for each n.
