COMMENT

The path length is the total number of transient and recurrent terms.

After 12000 iterations, f(13!) reaches 583880633503221176888439640142607059743547704176558111997560422400000.

EXAMPLE

n=10: 10!=3628800; the trajectory is {3628800, 2972970, 2221560, 1915992, 1768767, 2877420,

[1965840, 2227680, 1310680, 1591200, 1277874, 1307124, 1110488,

2010960, 1488032, 1981496, 2239920], 1965840, ...; thus a(10)=17, with 6 transient and 11 recurrent states.

MAPLE

f[n_] := DivisorSigma[1, EulerPhi[n]]; g[n_] := Length[ NestWhileList[ f, n, UnsameQ, All]] - 1; Table[ g[n! ], {n, 12}] (from Robert G. Wilson v Jul 23 2004)
