%N The order of the group Aut(Z/nZ)*, or the number of automorphisms of (Z/nZ)*.

%C (Z/nZ)* represents the multiplicative group of units mod n and this sequence gives the number of automorphisms of (Z/nZ)*.

%C A formula for this sequence can be found in the Hillar and Rhea reference.

%C Or equivalently, a(n) is the order of Aut(Aut(C_n)), where C_n is the cyclic group of order n. - _Jianing Song_, Apr 06 2019

%F a(p^k) = A000010(A000010(p^k)) for p an odd prime and k>0. - _Tom Edgar_, Jun 05 2015

%e |Aut((Z/1Z)*)|=1. |Aut(Z/28Z)*| = 12.

%e (Z/5Z)* is isomorphic to Z/4Z, which has two automorphisms, so a(5) = 2. - _Tom Edgar_, Jun 05 2015
