COMMENTS
Note that a(0) is also well-defined to be 1 because the only solution to x - phi(x) = 0 is x = 1. - Jianing Song, Dec 25 2018
FORMULA
From Amiram Eldar, Apr 08 2023 (Start)
a(A005278(n)) = 0.
a(A131825(n)) = 1.
a(A063741(n)) = n. (End)
EXAMPLE
Cototient(x) = 101 for x in {485, 1157, 1577, 1817, 2117, 2201, 2501, 2537, 10201}, with a(101) = 8 terms; e.g. 485 - phi(485) = 485 - 384 = 101. Cototient(x) = 102 only for x = 202 so a(102) = 1.
