Abstract
We study values of the Euler function $\varphi(n)$ taken on binary palindromes of even length. In particular, if ${\mathcal B}_{2\ell}$ denotes the set of binary palindromes with precisely $2\ell$ binary digits, we derive an asymptotic formula for the average value of the Euler function on ${\mathcal B}_{2\ell}$.
