COMMENT

If p is a Sophie Germain prime greater than 3 and n is a natural number then 2^n*3*p is in the sequence. That is because if m= 2^n*3*p then phi(m)=2^n*(p-1) and phi(m - phi(m))=phi(2^n*3*p - 2^n*(p-1))=phi(2^n*(2p+1))=2^n*p so phi(m)<phi(m-phi(m)) and m is in the sequence. - Farideh Firoozbakht (mymontain(AT)yahoo.com), Jun 19 2005
