Number of elements in a reduced residue system modulo n.
Degree of the n-th cyclotomic polynomial (cf. A013595). - Benoit Cloitre, Oct 12 2002
Number of distinct generators of a cyclic group of order n. Number of primitive n-th roots of unity. (A primitive n-th root x is such that x^k is not equal to 1 for k = 1, 2, ..., n - 1, but x^n = 1.) - Lekraj Beedassy, Mar 31 2005
Also number of complex Dirichlet characters modulo n; Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) is asymptotic to (3/Pi^2)*n^2. - Steven Finch, Feb 16 2006
a(n) is the highest degree of irreducible polynomial dividing 1 + x + x^2 + ... + x^(n-1) = (x^n - 1)/(x - 1). - Alexander Adamchuk, Sep 02 2006, corrected Sep 27 2006
a(p) = p - 1 for prime p. a(n) is even for n > 2. For n > 2, a(n)/2 = A023022(n) = number of partitions of n into 2 ordered relatively prime parts. - Alexander Adamchuk, Jan 25 2007
Number of automorphisms of the cyclic group of order n. - Benoit Jubin, Aug 09 2008
a(n+2) equals the number of palindromic Sturmian words of length n which are "bispecial", prefix or suffix of two Sturmian words of length n + 1. - Fred Lunnon, Sep 05 2010
Suppose that a and n are coprime positive integers, then by Euler's totient theorem, any factor of n divides a^phi(n) - 1. - Lei Zhou, Feb 28 2012
If m has k prime factors, (p_1, p_2, ..., p_k), then phi(m*n) = (Product_{i=1..k} phi (p_i*n))/phi(n)^(k-1). For example, phi(42*n) = phi(2*n)*phi(3*n)*phi(7*n)/phi(n)^2. - Gary Detlefs, Apr 21 2012
Sum_{n>=1} a(n)/n! = 1.954085357876006213144... This sum is referenced in Plouffe's inverter. - Alexander R. Povolotsky, Feb 02 2013 (see A336334. - Hugo Pfoertner, Jul 22 2020)

From Eric Desbiaux, Jan 01 2017: (Start)
a(n) equals the Ramanujan sum c_n(n) (last term on n-th row of triangle A054533).
a(n) equals the Jordan function J_1(n) (cf. A007434, A059376, A059377, which are the Jordan functions J_2, J_3, J_4, respectively). (End)

a(n) is the minimum dimension of a lattice able to generate, via cut-and-project, the quasilattice whose diffraction pattern features n-fold rotational symmetry. The case n=15 is the first n > 1 in which the following simpler definition fails: "a(n) is the minimum dimension of a lattice with n-fold rotational symmetry". - Felix Flicker, Nov 08 2017
Number of cyclic Latin squares of order n with the first row in ascending order. - Eduard I. Vatutin, Nov 01 2020

From Richard L. Ollerton, May 08 2021: (Start)
Formulas for the numerous OEIS entries involving Dirichlet convolution of a(n) and some sequence h(n) can be derived using the following (n >= 1):
Sum_{d|n} phi(d)*h(n/d) = Sum_{k=1..n} h(gcd(n,k)) [see P. H. van der Kamp link] = Sum_{d|n} h(d)*phi(n/d) = Sum_{k=1..n} h(n/gcd(n,k))*phi(gcd(n,k))/phi(n/gcd(n,k)). Similarly,
Sum_{d|n} phi(d)*h(d) = Sum_{k=1..n} h(n/gcd(n,k)) = Sum_{k=1..n} h(gcd(n,k))*phi(gcd(n,k))/phi(n/gcd(n,k)).
More generally,
Sum_{d|n} h(d) = Sum_{k=1..n} h(gcd(n,k))/phi(n/gcd(n,k)) = Sum_{k=1..n} h(n/gcd(n,k))/phi(n/gcd(n,k)).
In particular, for sequences involving the Möbius transform:
Sum_{d|n} mu(d)*h(n/d) = Sum_{k=1..n} h(gcd(n,k))*mu(n/gcd(n,k))/phi(n/gcd(n,k)) = Sum_{k=1..n} h(n/gcd(n,k))*mu(gcd(n,k))/phi(n/gcd(n,k)), where mu = A008683.
Use of gcd(n,k)*lcm(n,k) = n*k and phi(gcd(n,k))*phi(lcm(n,k)) = phi(n)*phi(k) provide further variations. (End)
From Richard L. Ollerton, Nov 07 2021: (Start)
Formulas for products corresponding to the sums above may found using the substitution h(n) = log(f(n)) where f(n) > 0 (for example, cf. formulas for the sum A018804 and product A067911 of gcd(n,k)):
Product_{d|n} f(n/d)^phi(d) = Product_{k=1..n} f(gcd(n,k)) = Product_{d|n} f(d)^phi(n/d) = Product_{k=1..n} f(n/gcd(n,k))^(phi(gcd(n,k))/phi(n/gcd(n,k))),
Product_{d|n} f(d)^phi(d) = Product_{k=1..n} f(n/gcd(n,k)) = Product_{k=1..n} f(gcd(n,k))^(phi(gcd(n,k))/phi(n/gcd(n,k))),
Product_{d|n} f(d) = Product_{k=1..n} f(gcd(n,k))^(1/phi(n/gcd(n,k))) = Product_{k=1..n} f(n/gcd(n,k))^(1/phi(n/gcd(n,k))),
Product_{d|n} f(n/d)^mu(d) = Product_{k=1..n} f(gcd(n,k))^(mu(n/gcd(n,k))/phi(n/gcd(n,k))) = Product_{k=1..n} f(n/gcd(n,k))^(mu(gcd(n,k))/phi(n/gcd(n,k))), where mu = A008683. (End)
a(n+1) is the number of binary words with exactly n distinct subsequences (when n > 0). - Radoslaw Zak, Nov 29 2021

a(8) = 4 with {1, 3, 5, 7} units modulo 8. a(10) = 4 with {1, 3, 7, 9} units modulo 10. - _Michael Somos_, Aug 27 2013

For n > 1, Sum_{k=1..n} phi^{(-1)}(n/gcd(n,k))*a(gcd(n,k))/a(n/gcd(n,k)) = 0, where phi^{(-1)} = A023900.
For n > 1, Sum_{k=1..n} a(gcd(n,k))*mu(rad(gcd(n,k)))*rad(gcd(n,k))/gcd(n,k) = 0.

This sequence could be derived from the following general formula (cf. A001286, A000330): n*(n+1)*...*(n+k)*(n + (n+1) + ... + (n+k))/((k+2)!*(k+1)/2) at k = 0. Indeed, using the formula for the sum of the arithmetic progression (n + (n+1) + ... + (n+k)) = (2*n + k)*(k + 1)/2 the general formula could be rewritten as: n*(n+1)*...*(n+k)*(2*n+k)/(k+2)! so for k = 0 above general formula degenerates to n*(2*n + 0)/(0 + 2) = n^2. - Alexander R.

a(n), n >= 1, is also the inverse of 3, denoted by 3^(-1), Modd(2^(2*n - 1)). For Modd n see a comment on A203571.

The following are examples of telescoping products. Cf. A016153:
Product_{k = 1..2*n} 1 + 2^k/a(k+1) = a(n+1)/A007583(n) = (4^(n+1) - 1)/(2*4^n + 1).
Hence, Product_{k >= 1} 1 + 2^k/a(k+1) = 2.
Product_{k >= 1} 1 - 2^k/a(k+1) = 2/5, since 1 - 2^n/a(n+1) = b(n)/b(n-1), where b(n) = 2 - 3/(1 - 2^(n+1)).
Product_{k >= 1} 1 + (-2)^k/a(k+1) = 2/3, since 1 + (-2)^n/a(n+1) = c(n)/c(n-1), where c(n) = 2 - 1/(1 + (-2)^(n+1)).
Product_{k >= 1} 1 - (-2)^k/a(k+1) = 6/5, since 1 - (-2)^n/a(n+1) = d(n)/d(n-1), where d(n) = 2 - 1/(1 - (-2)^(n+1)). (End)

Two-dimensional partitions of n in which no row or column is longer than the one before it (compare A001970). E.g., a(4) = 13:
4.31.3.22.2.211.21..2.1111.111.11.11.1 but not 2
.....1....2.....1...1......1...11.1..1........ 11
....................1.............1..1
.....................................1
In the above, one also must require that rows & columns are nondecreasing, e.g., [1,1; 2] is also forbidden (which implies that row and column lengths are nondecreasing, if empty cells are identified with cells filled with 0's). - M. F. Hasler, Sep 22 2018
Can also be regarded as number of "safe pilings" of cubes in the corner of a room: the height should not increase away from the corner. - Wouter Meeussen
Also number of partitions of n objects of 2 colors, each part containing at least one black object; see example. - Christian G. Bower, Jan 08 2004
Number of partitions of n into 1 type of part 1, 2 types of part 2, ..., k types of part k. E.g., n=3 gives 111, 12, 12', 3, 3', 3''. - Jon Perry, May 27 2004
The bijection between the partitions in the two preceding comments goes by identifying a part with k black objects with a part of type k. - David Scambler and Joerg Arndt, May 01 2013
Can also be regarded as the number of Jordan canonical forms for an n X n matrix. (I.e., a 5 X 5 matrix has 24 distinct Jordan canonical forms, dependent on the algebraic and geometric multiplicity of each eigenvalue.) - Aaron Gable (agable(AT)hmc.edu), May 26 2009
(1/n) * convolution product of n terms * A001157 (sum of squares of divisors of n): (1, 5, 10, 21, 26, 50, 50, 85, ...) = a(n). As shown by [Bressoud, p. 12]: 1/6 * [1*24 + 5*13 + 10*6 + 21*3 + 26*1 + 50*1] = 288/6 = 48. - Gary W. Adamson, Jun 13 2009
Convolved with the aerated version (1, 0, 1, 0, 3, 0, 6, 0, 13, ...) = A026007: (1, 1, 2, 5, 8, 16, 28, 49, 83, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, Jun 13 2009
Starting with offset 1 = row sums of triangle A162453. - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 03 2009
Unfortunately, Wright's formula is also incomplete in the paper by G. Almkvist: "Asymptotic formulas and generalized Dedekind sums", p. 344, (the denominator should have sqrt(3*Pi) not sqrt(Pi)). This error was already corrected in the paper by Steven Finch: "Integer Partitions". - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 17 2015
Also the number of non-isomorphic weight-n chains of multisets whose dual is also a chain of multisets. The dual of a multiset partition has, for each vertex, one block consisting of the indices (or positions) of the blocks containing that vertex, counted with multiplicity. The weight of a multiset partition is the sum of sizes of its parts. - Gus Wiseman, Sep 25 2018

There are a(4) = 13 partitions of 4 objects of 2 colors ('b' and 'w'), each part containing at least one black object:
1 black part:
  [ bwww ]
2 black parts:
  [ bbww ]
  [ bww, b ]
  [ bw, bw ]
3 black parts:
  [ bbbw ]
  [ bbw, b ]
  [ bb, bw ]
(but not: [bw, bb ] )
  [ bw, b, b ]
4 black parts:
  [ bbbb ]
  [ bbb, b ]
  [ bb, bb ]
  [ bb, b, b ]
  [ b, b, b, b ]

Let M_n be the symmetrical n X n matrix M_n(i,j) = 1/Max(i,j); then for n > 0 det(M_n)=1/a(n). - Benoit Cloitre, Apr 27 2002
The n-th entry of the sequence is the value of the permanent of a k X k matrix A defined as follows: k is the n-th odd number; if we concatenate the rows of A to form a vector v of length n^2, v_{i}=1 if i=1 or a multiple of 2. - Simone Severini, Feb 15 2006
a(n) = number of set partitions of {1,2,...,3n-1,3n} into blocks of size 3 in which the entries of each block mod 3 are distinct. For example, a(2) = 4 counts 123-456, 156-234, 126-345, 135-246. - David Callan, Mar 30 2007
From Emeric Deutsch, Nov 22 2007: (Start)
Number of permutations of {1,2,...,2n} with no even entry followed by a smaller entry. Example: a(2)=4 because we have 1234, 1324, 3124 and 2314.
Number of permutations of {1,2,...,2n} with n even entries that are followed by a smaller entry. Example: a(2)=4 because we have 2143, 3421, 4213 and 4321.
Number of permutations of {1,2,...,2n-1} with no even entry followed by a smaller entry. Example: a(2)=4 because we have 123, 132, 312 and 231.
Number of permutations of {1,2,...,2n-1} with n-1 odd entries followed by a smaller entry. Example: a(2)=4 because we have 132, 312, 231 and 321.

G. Leibniz in his "Ars Combinatoria" established the identity P(n)^2 = P(n-1)[P(n+1)-P(n)], where P(n) = n!. (For example, see the Burton reference.) - Mohammad K. Azarian, Mar 28 2008
a(n) is also the determinant of the symmetric n X n matrix M defined by M(i,j) = sigma_2(gcd(i,j)) for 1 <= i,j <= n, and n>0, where sigma_2 is A001157. - Enrique Pérez Herrero, Aug 13 2011

Number of n x n x n cubes C of zeros and ones such that C(x,y,z) and C(u,v,w) can be nonzero simultaneously only if either x!=u, y!=v, or z!=w. This generalizes permutations which can be considered as n x n squares P of zeros and ones such that P(x,y) and P(u,v) can be nonzero simultaneously only if either x!=u or y!=v. - Joerg Arndt, May 28 2012
a(n) is the number of functions f:[n]->[n(n+1)/2] such that, if round(sqrt(2f(x))) = round(sqrt(2f(y))), then x=y. - Dennis P. Walsh, Nov 26 2012
From Jerrold Grossman, Jul 22 2018: (Start)
a(n) is the number of n X n 0-1 matrices whose row sums and column sums are both {1,2,...,n}.
a(n) is the number of linear arrangements of 2n blocks of n different colors, 2 of each color, such that there are an even number of blocks between each pair of blocks of the same color.

Sum_{ d divides n } 1/d^k is equal to sigma_k(n)/n^k. So sequences A017665-A017712 also give the numerators and denominators of sigma_k(n)/n^k for k = 1..24. The power sums sigma_k(n) are in sequences A000203 (k=1), A001157-A001160 (k=2,3,4,5), A013954-A013972 for k = 6,7,...,24. - Ahmed Fares (ahmedfares(AT)my-deja.com), Apr 05 2001
Denominators of coefficients in expansion of Sum_{n >= 1} x^n/(n*(1-x^n)) = Sum_{n >= 1} log(1/(1-x^n)).
Also n/gcd(n, sigma(n)) = n/A009194(n); also n/lcm(all common divisors of n and sigma(n)). Equals 1 if 6,28,120,496,672,8128,..., i.e., if n is from A007691. - Labos Elemer, Aug 14 2002
a(A007691(n)) = 1. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Apr 06 2012
Denominator of sigma(n)/n = A000203(n)/n. a(n) = 1 for numbers n in A007691 (multiply-perfect numbers), a(n) = 2 for numbers n in A159907 (numbers n with half-integral abundancy index), a(n) = 3 for numbers n in A245775, a(n) = n for numbers n in A014567 (numbers n such that n and sigma(n) are relatively prime). See A162657 (n) - the smallest number k such that a(k) = n. - Jaroslav Krizek, Sep 23 2014
For all n, a(n) <= n, and thus records are obtained for terms of A014567. - Michel Marcus, Sep 25 2014
Conjecture: If a(n) is in A005153, then n is in A005153. In particular, if n has dyadic rational abundancy index, i.e., a(n) is in A000079 (such as A007691 and A159907), then n is in A005153. Since every term of A005153 greater than 1 is even, any odd n such that a(n) in A005153 must be in A007691. It is natural to ask if there exists a generalization of the indicator function for A005153, call it m(n), such that m(n) = 1 for n in A005153, 0 < m(n) < 1 otherwise, and m(a(n)) <= m(n) for all n.

Also Euler phi function of n^2.
For n >= 3, a(n) is also the size of the automorphism group of the dihedral group of order 2n. This automorphism group is isomorphic to the group of transformations x -> ax + b, where a, b and x are integers modulo n and a is coprime to n. Its order is n*phi(n). - Ola Veshta (olaveshta(AT)my-deja.com), Mar 18 2001
Order of metacyclic group of polynomial of degree n. - Artur Jasinski, Jan 22 2008
It appears that this sequence gives the number of permutations of 1, 2, 3, ..., n that are arithmetic progressions modulo n. - John W. Layman, Aug 27 2008
The conjecture by Layman is correct. Obviously any such permutation must have an increment that is prime to n, and almost as obvious that any such increment will work, with any starting value; hence phi(n) * n total. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Jun 09 2009
Consider the numbers from 1 to n^2 written line by line as an n X n square: a(n) = number of numbers that are coprime to all their horizontal and vertical immediate neighbors. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Apr 12 2011
n -> a(n) is injective: a(m) = a(n) implies m = n. - Franz Vrabec, Dec 12 2012 (See Mathematics Stack Exchange link for a proof.)
a(p) = p*(p-1) a pronic number, see A036689 and A002378. - Fred Daniel Kline, Mar 30 2015
Conjecture: All the rational numbers Sum_{i=j..k} 1/a(i) with 0 < min{2,k} <= j <= k have pairwise distinct fractional parts. - Zhi-Wei Sun, Sep 24 2015
From Jianing Song, Aug 25 2023: (Start)
a(n) is the order of the holomorph (see the Wikipedia link) of the cyclic group of order n. Note that Hol(C_n) and Aut(D_{2n}) are isomorphic unless n = 2, where D_{2n} is the dihedral group of order 2*n. See the Wordpress link.
The odd-indexed terms form a subsequence of A341298: the holomorph of an abelian group of odd order is a complete group. See Theorem 3.2, Page 618 of the W. Peremans link. (End)

			a(4) = 8 since phi(4) = 2 and 4 * 2 = 8.
a(5) = 20 since phi(5) = 4 and 5 * 4 = 20.

Multiplicative with a(p^e) = (p-1)*p^(2e-1). - David W. Wilson, Aug 01 2001
Dirichlet g.f.: zeta(s-2)/zeta(s-1). - R. J. Mathar, Feb 09 2011
a(n) = A173557(n) * A102631(n). - R. J. Mathar, Mar 30 2011
From Wolfdieter Lang, May 12 2011: (Start)
a(n)/2 = A023896(n), n >= 2.
a(n)/2 = (1/n) * Sum_{k=1..n-1, gcd(k,n)=1} k, n >= 2 (see A023896 and A076512/A109395). (End)
a(n) = lcm(phi(n^2),n). - Enrique Pérez Herrero, May 11 2012
a(n) = phi(n^2). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jun 16 2013
a(n) = A009195(n) * A009262(n). - Michel Marcus, Oct 24 2013
G.f.: -x + 2*Sum_{k>=1} mu(k)*k*x^k/(1 - x^k)^3. - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jan 03 2017
a(n) = A082473(A327173(n)), A327172(a(n)) = n. -- Antti Karttunen, Sep 29 2019
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = 2.203856... (A065484). - Amiram Eldar, Sep 30 2019
Define f(x) = #{n <= x: a(n) <= x}. Gabdullin & Iudelevich show that f(x) ~ c*sqrt(x) for c = Product_{p prime} (1 + 1/(p*(p - 1 + sqrt(p^2 - p)))) = 1.3651304521525857... - Charles R Greathouse IV, Mar 16 2022
a(n) = Sum_{d divides n} A001157(d)*A046692(n/d); that is, the Dirichlet convolution of sigma_2(n) and the Dirichlet inverse of sigma_1(n). - Peter Bala, Jan 26 2024
