Abstract
This article extends our previous study on the summatory behavior of Euler's totient function . We investigate two complementary restricted sums, and , which satisfy the decomposition . We establish recurrence formulas, congruence relations, and generating function identities for . In particular, we prove that for every prime , and we derive the asymptotic expansion . Furthermore, we study average orders, connections with , and relations with divisor structures. These results refine the analytic understanding of totients in arithmetic progressions and complement the classical asymptotic theory of .
