Hello, seqfans!

Let  s(n) = phi(sigma(n))/sigma(phi(n))

1.  a(1) = 1,  a(n+1) = k, where is the least positive integer such that
s(k) < s(a(n))

The first few members are: 1, 3, 5, 11, 13, 17, 29, 41, 181, 209, 377, 779,
3239, 4469, 5249, 15539...

2.  b(1) = 1,  b(n+1) = k, where is the least positive integer such that
s(k) > s(b(n))

The first few members are: 1, 2, 36, 144, 576, 3600, 14400, 921600...
