Abstract

In this paper, basing on the linear algebra methods and elementary techniques, for any positive integers e e and n n , we obtain a recursion formula for the generalized Euler function φe(n) \varphi_e(n) , which is determined by some matrices related to a congruence equation modulo e e . Furthermore, through the recursion formula, we get the explicit formula for φ5(n) \varphi_5(n) . Our results generalize the corresponding results in \cite{A4,A8,A10,A11}.
