The iterated Carmichael lambda function

The arithmetic function λ(n) is the exponent of the cyclic group (Z/nZ)^x. The k-th iterate of λ(n) is denoted by λk(n) In this work we will show the normal order for log(n/λk(n)) is (loglog n)k⁻¹}(logloglog n)/(k-1)! . Second, we establish a similar normal order for other iterate involving a comb...
