Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

Numbers k such that phi(k)/2 + 1 = phi(k + 1) where phi = A000010.

COMMENTS
Conjecture: this sequence is the union {9} and the Mersenne primes A000668.
EXAMPLE
Number 9 is in this sequence because phi(9)/2 + 1 = 6/2 + 1 = 3 + 1 = 4 is equal to phi(9 + 1) = phi(10) = 4.
