We propose a generic algorithm for computing the inverses of a multiplicative function under the assumption that the set of inverses is finite. More generally, our algorithm can compute certain functions of the inverses, such as their power…

Lehmer's totient problem consists of determining the set of positive integers $n$ such that $\varphi(n)|n-1$ where $\varphi$ is Euler's totient function. In this paper we introduce the concept of $k$-Lehmer number. A $k$-Lehmer number is a…

We study the distribution of divisors of Euler's totient function and Carmichael's function. In particular, we estimate how often the values of these functions have "dense" divisors.

Lehmer's totient problem asks whether there exists any composite number $n$ such that $\varphi(n) \, \mid \, (n-1)$, where $\varphi$ is Euler totient function. It is known that if any such $n$ exists, it must be Carmichael and $n >…
