%N The number of primitive roots g such that there exists an x with g^x == x (mod p), where p=prime(n).

%C a(n) is the number of primitive roots g of p=prime(n) for which an x with 0 < x < p exists such that g^x == x (mod p). - _Robert Israel_, May 12 2017 [Corrected by _Tim Peters_ (following an observation made by _José Hernández_), Apr 16 2024]

%C The number x is called a fixed point of the discrete logarithm with base g.
