The article
Hongjian Li , Pingzhi Yuan & Hairong Bai (2021) Positive Rational Numbers
of the Form φ( m^2 ) / φ( n^2 ) , American Mathematical Monthly, 128:2,
174-176, DOI: 10.1080/00029890.2021.1850142
shows that for every positive rational number there corresponds a unique
pair of integers (m,n) satisfying certain properties. They only give one
example.
It might be interesting to apply their procedure to the standard list of
rational numbers arranged in the order
1/1, 1/2, 2/1, 1/3, 3/1, 2/3, 3/2, 1/4, 4/1, 3/4, 4/3, ... (this is A038568
<https://oeis.org/A038568>/A038569 <https://oeis.org/A038569>).
Look at the m values and the n values that are obtained. Two potential
sequences for the OEIS!
If anyone needs a copy of the article let me know.
