Comments

An equivalent definition: numbers n such that phi(n) is equal to the squarefree kernel of n-1.

Minimal value of first differences (between odd terms) is 4. Primes p such that both p and p + 4 are terms are: 3, 7, 43, 67, 79, 103, 223, 439, 463, 499, 643, 823, ... - Zak Seidov, Apr 16 2013

The density of this set in A000040 is Artin's constant A = A005596 = 37.39...%, see Mirsky. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Oct 26 2015

Example

phi(43)=42, 42=2^1*3^1*7^1, 2*3*7=42.
p=223 is here because p-1=222=2*3*37
