Robert Israel, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000

Formula

2n+1 < a(n) < 4n+3.

From Robert Israel, Jan 03 2017: (Start)

a(n)=2n+2 if and only if 2n+1 is in A001274.

If n > 3 is in A005384, then a(n)=4n+2. (End)

Maple

f:= n -> min(select(`>`, numtheory:-invphi(numtheory:-phi(2*n+1)), 2*n+1)):
map(f, [$1..100]); # Robert Israel, Jan 03 2017

Mathematica

Table[k = 2 n + 2; While[EulerPhi@ k != #, k++] &@ EulerPhi[2 n + 1]; k, {n, 120}] (* Michael De Vlieger, Jan 03 2017 *)

Prog

(PARI) a(n) = my(k=2*n+2); while(eulerphi(k)!=eulerphi(2*n+1), k++); k \\ Felix Fröhlich, Jan 05 2017
