COMMENTS

Number of orbits of length n in map whose periodic points are A023890. - Thomas Ward (t.ward(AT)uea.ac.uk)

Characteristic function of nonprimes A018252. - Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost3(AT)gmail.com), Dec 30 2007

Triangle A157423 = A005171 in every column. A052284 = INVERT transform of A005171, and the eigensequence of triangle A157423. [From Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Feb 28 2009]

FORMULA

If b(n) is the n-th term of A023890, then a(n)=(1/n)* Sum_{ d divides n } \mu(d)a(n/d) E.g. a(6) = 1 since the 6th term of A023890 is 7 and the first term is 1.

a(n)=1-[(n-1)!^2 mod n], with n>=1. - Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Jun 11 2007

a(n) = NOT(A010051(n)) = 1 - A010051(n). - Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost3(AT)gmail.com), Dec 30 2007
