Abstract

This paper explores several fundamental properties and theorems about bipartiteness, completeness, and connectedness of the Euler function graph $G(\phi(n))$. A key focus of the study is the novel connection between the completeness of the Euler function graph $G(\phi(n))$ and the set $\Phi(n)$. By investigating this connection, we establish new results that clarify the interplay between graph completeness and fundamental properties of prime numbers. Finally, we provide certain examples as well as non-examples.
