COMMENTS

Comment from Christian Bower: also, number of sequences of positive integers a_1,a_2,...,a_k such that 1+a_1*(1+a_2*(...(1+a_k)...))=n. If you take mu(a_1)*mu(a_2)*...*mu(a_k) for each sequence you get 1's 0's and -1's. Add them up and you get the terms for A007554.

Note that this applies also to planar rooted trees and other similar objects (mountain ranges, parenthesizations) encoded by A014486 - Antti Karttunen Sep 07 2000

Equals sum of (n-1)-th row terms of triangle A152434 [From Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Dec 04 2008]

Equals the eigensequence of A051731, the inverse binomial transform. [From Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Dec 26 2008]

FORMULA

Shifts one place left under inverse Moebius transform: a(n+1)= Sum a(k), k|n.

Conjecture : log(a(n)) is asymptotic to c*log(n)^2 where 0.4<c<0.5 - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Apr 13 2004

For n>1, a(n) = 1/2 * A068336(n) and sum(k=1, n, a(k)) = A003318(n). - R. Stephan, Mar 27 2004

Generating function P(x) for the sequence with offset 2 obeys P(x) = x^2*(1+sum_{n>=1} P(x^n)/x^n). [Harary & Robinson]. - R. J. Mathar, Sep 28 2011

MATHEMATICA

(* b = A068336 *) b[1] = 1; b[n_] := b[n] = 1 + Sum[b[k], {k, Divisors[n-1]}]; a[n_] := b[n]/2; a[1] = 1; Table[ a[n], {n, 1, 48}] (* From Jean-François Alcover, Dec 20 2011, after R. Stephan *)
