%N Number of primitive (aperiodic, or Lyndon) asymmetric rhythm cycles: ones having no nontrivial shift automorphism.

%C Asymmetric rhythm cycles (A115114): binary necklaces of length 2n subject to the restriction that for any k if the k-th bead is of color 1 then the (k+n)-th bead (modulo 2n) is of color 0. - _Valery A. Liskovets_, Jan 17 2006

%C This sequence differs from the Moebius transform of A115114 (for even n). Coincides with the second row (q=3) of array A098691. - _Valery A. Liskovets_, Jan 17 2006

%C This sequence is the number of Lyndon words on {1, 2, 3} with an odd number of 1's. Also, for even n, this sequence represents the differences between the number of Lyndon words on {1, 2, 3} with an odd number of 1's and the number of Lyndon words on {1, 2, 3} with an even number of 1's. - Jennifer Woodcock (jennifer.woodcock(AT)ugdsb.on.ca), Jan 03 2008

%F From _Valery A. Liskovets_, Jan 17 2006: (Start)

%F a(n) = (Sum_{d|n, d odd} mu(d)*(3^(n/d)-1))/(2*n).

%F a(n) = (3^n-1)/(2*n) for n=2^k and a(n) = (Sum_{d|n, d odd} mu(d)*3^(n/d))/(2*n) otherwise. (End)

%e Example. For n=3, out of 6=A115114(3) admissible rhythm cycles (necklaces) 000000, 100000, 110000, 101000, 111000 and 101010, only the first and the last ones are imprimitive. Thus a(3)=4.

%t a[n_] := DivisorSum[n, If[BitAnd[#, 1]==1, MoebiusMu[#]*(3^(n/#)-1), 0]&] / (2n); Array[a, 30] (* _Jean-François Alcover_, Dec 01 2015, after _Joerg Arndt_ *)

%o (PARI) a(n) = sumdiv( n, d, if ( bitand(d,1), moebius(d) * (3^(n/d)-1) , 0 ) ) / (2*n); /* _Joerg Arndt_, Dec 30 2012 */
