FORMULA

Gilbert gives a formula (see Maple code).

MAPLE

with(numtheory): d := n->divisors(n): U := (m, t)->sum(2*m*binomial(2*m-k, k)*(m-k)!*(t-1)^k/(2*m-k), k=0..m): A := (n, i)->phi(n/dd[i])*(n/dd[i])^dd[i]*U(dd[i], 1-dd[i]/n)/n: for n from 3 to 28 do dd := d(n): B := [seq(A(n, j), j=1..nops(dd))]: a[n] := sum(B[i], i=1..nops(B)) od: seq(a[n], n=3..28);

MATHEMATICA

u[m_, t_] := Sum[ 2m*Binomial[ 2m-k, k]*(m-k)!*((t-1)^k / (2m-k)), {k, 0, m}]; a[n_] := Sum[ EulerPhi[n/d] * (n/d)^d * (u[d, 1-d/n]/n), {d, Divisors[n]} ]; Table[ a[n], {n, 3, 22} ] (* From Jean-François Alcover, Dec 07 2011, after Maple *)
