COMMENT

Always >0 for n>0. a(n)=1 if n is prime.

If p is a prime and k is a natural number then a(p^k)=p^(k-1) because a(p^k)=(p^k)^2-sigma(p^k)*phi(p^k) =p^(2k)-(p-1)*p^(k-1)*(p^(k+1)-1)/(p-1)=p^(k-1). If n is a composite number then a(n)>1 and a(1)=0, so n is prime iff a(n)=1. - Farideh Firoozbakht (mymontain(AT)yahoo.com), Nov 15 2005

FORMULA

n^2-phi(n)*sigma(n) [From Walter Nissen (nissen(AT)gtcinternet.com), Aug 29 2009]

EXAMPLE

sigma(10) = 18; phi(10) = 4; 10^2 - sigma(10)*phi(10) = 28. sigma(p) = p+1; phi(p) = p-1; p^2 - (p+1)(p-1) = 1. [From Walter Nissen (nissen(AT)gtcinternet.com), Aug 29 2009]
