Infinite families of noncototients

A. Flammenkamp, F. Luca (2000)

Colloquium Mathematicae

For any positive integer n let ϕ(n) be the Euler function of n. A positive integer n is called a noncototient if the equation x-ϕ(x)=n has no solution x. In this note, we give a sufficient condition on a positive integer k such that the geometrical progression ( 2 m k ) m 1 consists entirely of noncototients. We then use computations to detect seven such positive integers k.
