Abstract
A composite number is called a Lehmer number when , where is the Euler totient function. Lehmer's totient problem asks if there exist any composite numbers such that ? No such numbers are known. In this paper we establish an Euler Totient Inequality and relate some new parameters to Lehmer numbers. As an application of what we have done, we show that for all prime numbers and for all odd square-free numbers , at most one of or is a Lehmer number. Finally we suggest some open problems for the future investigations on the Lehmer numbers.
