%N A131883 a(n) = the minimum value from among (phi(n+1),phi(n+2),phi(n+3),...,phi(2n)),
where phi(m) (A000010) is the number of positive integers which are
coprime to m and are <= m.
%C A131883 Conjecture: After omitting multiple occurrences we get A036912. - Vladeta
Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Oct 31 2007. This conjecture has been
established by Max Alekseyev - see link below.
%C A131883 The Alekseyev link establishes the following explicit relationship between
A131883, A036912 and A057635. Namely, for t belonging to A036912,
we have t=A131883(A057635(t)-1). In other words, A036912(n) = A131883(A057635(A036912(n))-1)
for all n.

%e A131883 For n = 6 we have phi(7)=6, phi(8)=4, phi(9)=6, phi(10)=4, phi(11)=10,
phi(12)=4. The least of these values is 4. So a(6) = 4.
