COMMENT

Thinking of n as time, a(n) represents the first time EulerPhi catches up with i(n), where i is the identity function. a(n) - n can be seen as the lag of EulerPhi behind i at time n. The sequence of these lags begins 0 1 2 1 2 1 4 3 2 1 2 1 4 3 2 1 2 1 4 3 2 1

a(n) is the smallest number for which the reduced residue system (=RRS[a(n)]) contains {1,2,...,n} as a subset; a(m) jumps at a(p)-1 and a(p) from value of p to nextprime[p]; a(x)=p[n] holds {p[n-1]....p[n]-1}; p(n) is repeated p(n)-p(n-1) times. For n>1, a(n)=p[Pi(n)+1], while a(1)=1. - Labos E. (labos(AT)ana.sote.hu), May 14 2003

FORMULA

a(1) = 1 a(n) = p(s+1) for n in [p(s), p(s+1) - 1], where p(s) denotes the s-th prime.

For n>1 a(n)=A007918(n+1) - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), May 04 2002

For n>1, a(n)=A000040[A000720(n)+1], while a(1)=1. - Labos E. (labos(AT)ana.sote.hu), May 14 2003

EXAMPLE

a(5) = 7 since EulerPhi(7) = 6 is at least 5 and 7 is the smallest k satisfying EulerPhi(k) is greater than or equal to 5.
