A(x,y) = Sum_{n>=1, k>=0} C(n,k)*x^n*y^k = x*(1+y)/(1-x*(1+y)), is given by CIK(A(x,y)) = -Sum_{s>=1} (phi(s)/s)*log(1-A(x^s,y^s)). (Unlike in sequence A055891, here, 1 is not added to the formula of the CIK transform. The addition of 1 seems to be arbitrary.) %C A055376 To find the auxiliary double array (e(n,k): n>=1, k>=0) used in the formula b(n,k) = (1/n)*Sum_{d|gcd(n,k)} phi(d)*e(n/d, k/d), we use the formula E(x,y) = Sum_{n>=1, k>=0} e(n,k)*x^n*y^k = x*(dA(x,y)/dx)/(1-A(x,y)). We may find E(x,y) = x*(1+y)/((1-2*x*(1+y))*(1-x*(1+y))), from which we can easily prove that e(n,k) = C(n,k)*(2^n-1). %C A055376 Letting y=1 in the bivariate g.f. for b(n,k), we get the univariate g.f. for the row sums in A055891.
