Let $\phi(n)$ be the Euler-phi function, define $\phi_0(n) = n$ and $\phi_{k+1}(n)=\phi(\phi_{k}(n))$ for all $k\geq 0$. We will determine an asymptotic formula for the set of integers $n$ less than $x$ for which $\phi_k(n)$ is $y$-smooth,…

Let $\psi$ denote the Dedekind totient function defined by $ \psi(n)=\sum_{d|n}d\mu^2\l({n}/{d}\r) $ with $\mu$ being the M\"{o}bius function. We shall consider the $k$-th Riesz mean of the arithmetical function $n/\psi(n)$ for any…

The Euler phi function on a given integer $n$ yields the number of positive integers less than $n$ that are relatively prime to $n$. Equivalently, it gives the order of the group of units in the quotient ring $\mathbb{Z}/(n)$. We generalize…

In this paper, we study some graph theoretical properties of two derivative Euler Phi function set-graphs. For the Euler Phi function $\phi(n)$, $n\in \mathbb{N}$, the set $S_\phi(n) =\{i:\gcd(i,n)=1, 1\leq i \leq n\}$ and the vertex set is…

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Then cyclic group $Z_n$ of order $n$ is the only group of order $n$ iff g.c.d. $(n,\phi(n))=1$, where $\phi$ denotes the Euler-phi function. In this article we have given another proof of this result using the…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\varphi(G)=|\{a\in G \mid o(a)=\exp(G)\}|$, where $o(a)$ denotes the order of $a$ in $G$ and $\exp(G)$ denotes the exponent of $G$. Under a natural hypothesis, in this note we determine the groups $G$ such…

Euler's theorem asserts that $A(n)=B(n)$ where $A(n)$ is the number of partitions of $n$ into distinct parts and $B(n)$ is the number of partitions of $n$ into odd parts. In this paper, it is proved that for $n>0$, \begin{align*}…
