A147549
a(n) is the number of n-digit numbers m such that phi(m)=phi(10^n+1), gcd(10^n+1,m)=1 and 10 doesn't divide m.

COMMENTS
If 10^n+1 is prime (n must be of the form 2^k) then a(n)=0 because in this case there is no n-digit number m such that phi(10^n+1) = 10^n = phi(m). I defined this sequence and sequences A147547 and A147548 to answer a question (Nov 06 2008) from M. F. Hasler about the infiniteness of the "primitive" elements (those that aren't multiples of 10) of sequence A147619.
