Abstract

Let I(n)=ψ(ϕ(n))ϕ(ψ(n))I(n) = \frac{\psi(\phi(n))}{\phi(\psi(n))} and K(n)=ψ(ϕ(n))ϕ(ϕ(n))K(n) = \frac{\psi(\phi(n))}{\phi(\phi(n))}, where ϕ(n)\phi(n) is Euler's function and ψ(n)\psi(n) is Dedekind's arithmetic function. We obtain the maximal order of I(n)I(n), as well as the average orders of I(n)I(n) and K(n)K(n). Additionally, we prove a density theorem for both I(n)I(n) and K(n)K(n).
