%N Even numbers k such that phi(m) = k^2 has no solution.

%C In the link, P. Pollack and C. Pomerance "show that almost all squares are missing from the range of Euler's phi-function".

%C Except for m=1 and m=2, phi(m) is always even, so, the odd numbers >= 3 are not included in the data for clarity.

%C Includes 2*p if p is a prime not in A052291. - _Robert Israel_, Apr 10 2019
