EXAMPLE

Contribution from Jason Orendorff (jason.orendorff(AT)gmail.com), Jan 09 2009: (Start)

The binary bracelets for small n are:

. n: bracelets

. 0: (the empty bracelet)

. 1: 0

. 2: 00, 01

. 3: 000, 001

. 4: 0000, 0001, 0011, 0101

. 5: 00000, 00001, 00011, 00101

. 6: 000000, 000001, 000011, 000101, 000111, 001001, 001011, 010101 (End)

The above lines illustrate the fact that to get constant-width font in the Wiki version of the OEIS, you should begin each line with a dot.

MAPLE

with(numtheory): A000011 := proc(n) local s, d; if n = 0 then RETURN(1) else s := 2^(floor(n/2)); for d in divisors(n) do s := s+(phi(2*d)*2^(n/d))/(2*n); od; RETURN(s/2); fi; end;

MATHEMATICA

a[n_] := Fold[ #1 + EulerPhi[2#2]2^(n/#2)/(2n) &, 2^Floor[n/2], Divisors[n]]/2

PROG

(PARI) a(n)=if(n<1, !n, 2^(n\2)/2+sumdiv(n, k, eulerphi(2*k)*2^(n/k))/n/4)

CROSSREFS

Cf. A000013. Bisections give A000117 and A092668.
