COMMENTS

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 StackExchange-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

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