%N Numbers n such that phi(n+2) - 2*phi(n+1) + phi(n) = -n.

%C The equation here is the difference equation (applied to phi) corresponding to the differential equation y" = -x (Hooke's law with constant = 1).

%C a(15) > 10^13. - _Giovanni Resta_, May 05 2017

%e Since phi(6) - 2*phi(5) + phi(4) = 2 - 2*4 + 2 = -4, 4 is a term of the sequence.
