Erdős Problem 416: does V(2x)/V(x)→2V(2x)/V(x)\to2 for the number V(x)V(x) of totient values up to xx, and is there an asymptotic formula?

The paper gives an explicit asymptotic equivalent V(x)∼xlog⁡xG(x)A(θ(x))V(x)\sim\frac{x}{\log x}G(x)A(\theta(x)), where the bounded positive coefficient AA depends on a phase θ(x)∈[0,1)\theta(x)\in[0,1) and is a uniform limit of functions defined from finite prime and integer data, and proves V(cx)/V(x)→cV(cx)/V(x)\to c for every fixed c>0c>0, answering Erdős-Hall. It also gives asymptotics for totients whose least preimage lies in (kx,(k+1)x](kx,(k+1)x], a further question of Erdős (1979), with a positive coefficient for k=1,2k=1,2 and identically zero counts when no totient dd has least preimage above kdkd. Not shown: a closed-form constant (the coefficient is a limit, not a number), or secondary terms.
