%N The smaller of a pair n, m such that phi(n) = phi(m) and there is no other k such that phi(n) = phi(k).

%C If phi(x) = N has exactly two solutions, x = n and x = m, say (see A007366), it is conjectured that one of n and m is odd and the other even.

%C This sequence differs from A058340 in that it contains nonprime integers. The first few are 81, 121, 343, 361, 529, 649, 841, 961, 1219, 1331, 1537, 1633, ...

%e 81 is a term because phi(81) = phi(162) = 54 (= A007366(8)).
