The Euler's totient function $ \varphi(n) $ counts the positive integers up to a given integer $ n$ that are relatively prime to $ n $. We solve a problem due to Lehmer that there is no composite number $ n $ such that $ \varphi(n)\mid n-1…

We obtain an upper bound for the sum $\sum_{n\leq N} (a_{n}/\varphi (a_{n}))^{s}$, where $\varphi$ is Euler's totient function, $s\in \mathbb{N}$, and $a_{1},\ldots, a_{N}$ are positive integers (not necessarily distinct) with some…

In 1963, Edward Spence published a proof of the following With $\phi$ being Euler totient function, if $n>1$ is an integer, and if \begin{equation*} 0<a_1<\cdots<a_{\phi(n)}<n, \end{equation*} are the positive integers less than $n$,…

In this note, we provide refined estimates of the following sums involving the Euler totient function: $$\sum_{n\le x} \phi\left(\left[\frac{x}{n}\right]\right) \qquad \text{and} \qquad \sum_{n\le x} \frac{\phi([x/n])}{[x/n]}$$ where $[x]$…

Euler's totient function, $\varphi(n)$, which counts how many of $0,1,\dots,n-1$ are coprime to $n$, has an explicit asymptotic lower bound of $n/\log \log n$, modulo some constant. In this note, we generalise $\varphi$; given an…

In this paper we introduce and study a family $\Phi_k$ of arithmetic functions generalizing Euler's totient function. These functions are given by the number of solutions to the equation $\gcd(x_1^2+\ldots +x_k^2, n)=1$ with $x_1,\ldots,x_k…

Let $\phi(n)$ be the Euler totient function and $\phi_k(n)$ its $k$-fold iterate. In this note, we improve the upper bound for the number of positive $n\leqslant x$ such that $\phi_{k+1}(n)\geqslant cn$. Comparing with the upper bound which…

We present an algorithm to invert the Euler function $\phi(m)$. The algorithm, for a given $n \geq 1$, in polynomial time ``on average'', finds the set $\Psi(n)$ of all solutions $m$ to $\phi(m) = n$. In fact, in the worst case, $\Psi(n)$…

A composite number $n$ is called a Lehmer number when $\phi(n) | n - 1$, where $\phi$ is the Euler totient function. Lehmer's totient problem asks if there exist any composite numbers $n$ such that $\phi(n)| n-1$? No such numbers are known.…
