%N Admirable totient numbers: numbers that are equal to the sum of their iterated phi, with one of them taken with a minus sign.

%C Analogous to A111592 (admirable numbers) as A082897 (perfect totient numbers) is analogous to A000396 (perfect numbers).

%e 5 is a term since the values of the iterated phi of 5 are 4, 2 and 1 and 5 = 4 + 2 - 1.

%t admTotQ[n_] := Module[{s = Most @ Rest @ FixedPointList[EulerPhi, n]}, (ab = Plus @@ s - n) > 0 && EvenQ[ab] && ab/2 < n && MemberQ[s, ab/2]]; Select[Range[8000], admTotQ]

%Y Subsequence of A286265.

%Y Cf. A000010, A053478, A082897, A111592, A288452.
