COMMENTS
Makowski and Schinzel conjectured in 1964 that a(n) = sigma(phi(n)) >= n/2 for all n (B42 of Guy Unsolved Problems...). This has been verified for various classes of numbers and proved to be true in general if it is true for squarefree integers (see Cohen's paper). - Antonio G. Astudillo (afg_astudillo(AT)hotmail.com), Sep 07 2002
Atanassov proves the above conjecture. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Dec 06 2016

COMMENTS
For transient lengths of iterations A062401(x) or A062402(x), if started at 2^n, holds that A096994(n)+1 = a(n). Corresponding cycle lengths satisfy A096852(n-1) = A096857(n). Behind these observation several relationships stand, e.g., sigma(A062401(x)) = A062402(sigma(x)) or phi(A062402(x)) = A062401(phi(x)).
For initial value = 2^33 more than 38000 iterations did not lead to a recurrent term, so possibly there is no cycle. a(34) through a(39) are 8, 52, 71, 24, 40, 12. - Klaus Brockhaus, Jul 19 2007
EXAMPLE
Trajectory of 2^0 is 1,1, ...; there are zero transient terms preceding the 1-cycle (1), so a(0) = 0.
Trajectory of 2^14 is 16384, 16383, 34200, 30480, 26520, 16380, 10200, 6138, 6045, 9906, 9920, 12264, 10200, ...; there are six transient terms preceding the 6-cycle (10200, 6138, 6045, 9906, 9920, 12264), so a(14) = 6.

Function A062402[x]=phi[sigma[x]] is iterated. a(n) is the number of distinct terms arising in the trajectory of 2^n; a(n)=t(n)+c(n)=t+c, where t is the number of transient terms, c is the number of recurrent terms [in the terminal cycle].

COMMENTS
Concerning this sequence and A097004, A096994, A096995: in all 4 cases the initial value is 2^n and a certain function is iterated. They differ either in the function or in what is computed for that iteration.
Glossary: t+c = total count of transient+cycle terms, t = count of transient terms
Sequence 1: A062401 is iterated t+c is computed => this sequence
Sequence 2: A062402 is iterated t+c is computed => A097004
Sequence 3: A062401 is iterated t is computed => A096994
Sequence 4: A062402 is iterated t is computed => A096995
