COMMENT

If n is in the sequence and m=3^(n-1) then m is a term of A033632 (phi(sigma(m)) = sigma(phi(m)), so 3^(A028491-1) is a subsequence of A033632. For example since 9551 is in the sequence, phi(sigma(3^9550)) = sigma(phi(3^9550)). - Farideh Firoozbakht (f.firoozbakht(AT)math.ui.ac.ir), Feb 09 2005
