COMMENTS

Conjecture: a(n) != 0 for all n.

Records: 30 (A007617(n) = 3), 54 (A007617(n) = 21), 106 (A007617(n) = 90), 2010 (A007617(n) = 450), ...

By definition, a totient number N > 1 is a term if and only if there exists a nontotient r such that: (i) k*r is a totient for totient numbers 2 <= k < N; (ii) N*r is a nontotient. No term can be of the form m*m', where m > 1 is a totient and m' > 1 is in A301587 (otherwise m*r is a totient implies m*m'*r is a totient).

Conjecture: every totient number > 1 which is not of the form m*m', where m > 1 is a totient and m' > 1 is in A301587, appears in this sequence. For example, the numbers 2, 6, 10, 18, 22, 28, 30 first appears when A005277(n) = 34, 86, 68, 186, 14, 902, 318.

EXAMPLE

A007617(55) = 90. N = 106 is a totient number > 1 such that 90*k is a totient for totient numbers 2 <= k < N, and 90*N is a nontotient, so a(55) = 106.

A007617(307) = 450. N = 2010 is a totient number > 1 such that 450*k is a totient for totient numbers 2 <= k < N, and 450*N is a nontotient, so a(307) = 2010.

A007617(637) = 902. N = 28 is a totient number > 1 such that 902*k is a totient for totient numbers 2 <= k < N, and 902*N is a nontotient, so a(637) = 28.

A007617(194495) = 241010. N = 100 is a totient number > 1 such that 241010*k is a totient for totient numbers 2 <= k < N, and 241010*N is a nontotient, so a(194495) = 100. Note that although 100 = 10*10 is a product of 2 totient number > 1, neither factor is in A301587, so nothing prevents that 100 is a term of this sequence.

PROG

(PARI) b(n) = if(!istotient(n), for(k=2, oo, if(istotient(k) && !istotient(n*k), return(k))))

list(lim) = my(v=[]); for(n=1, lim, if(!istotient(n), v=concat(v, b(n)))); v \\ gives a(n) for A007617(n) <= lim
