Formula

a(n) = A058339(n) - A210501(n).

Example

The set {k: phi(k) = 12} is {13, 21, 26, 28, 36, 42}. Thus, if phi(k) = prime(6) - 1, the equation has exactly four even solutions. Hence, a(6) = 4.

Mathematica

r = 87; lst1 = Table[EulerPhi[n], {n, (Prime[r] - 1)^2 + 2}]; lst2 = {}; Do[p = Prime[n]; AppendTo[lst2, Length@Select[Flatten@Position[Take[lst1, {p - 1, (p - 1)^2 + 2}], Prime[n] - 1], OddQ]], {n, r}]; lst2
