The average order of the Euler function ϕ(n), the number of integers less than n which are relatively prime to n, raises many difficult and still unanswered questions. Thus, for

1.1,

and

1.2,

it is known that R(x) = O(x log x) and H(x) = O(log x). However, though these results are quite old, they were not improved until recently.
