COMMENTS
These numbers m appear to satisfy cototient(m) > totient(m) or 2*phi(m) < m; they seem to be the missing terms mentioned in A067800. - Labos Elemer, May 08 2003
All elements in this sequence must have 2*phi(m) < m, but not the reverse. See A118700. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, May 21 2006
The numbers of terms that do not exceed 10^k, for k = 3, 4, ..., are 11, 108, 1139, 11036, 111796, ... . Apparently, the asymptotic density of this sequence exists and equals 0.011... . - Amiram Eldar, Nov 21 2024
