COMMENTS

Number of points in the bicyclic group Z/mZ x Z/mZ whose order is exactly m. - George J. Schaeffer (gschaeff(AT)andrew.cmu.edu), Mar 14 2006

A000056(n)=n*a(n). - Michael Somos Mar 20 2004

Number of irreducible fractions among {(u+v*i)/n:1<=u,v<=n} with i=sqrt(-1), where a fraction (u+v*i)/n is called irreducible iff GCD(u,v,n)=1. - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Aug 20 2005

The weight of the n-th polynomial for the analog of cyclotomic polynomials for elliptic divisibility sequences. That is, let weight of b1 = 1, b2 = 3, b3 = 8, b4 = 12 and let e1 = b1, e2 = b2*b1, e3 = b3*b1, e4 = b2*b4*b1, e5 = (b2^4*b4 - b3^3)*b1 = b5*e1 and so on be an elliptic divisibility sequence. Then weight of e2 = 4, e3 = 9, e4 = 16, e5 = 25, where weight of en is n^2 in general, while weight of bn is a(n). - Michael Somos Aug 12 2008

J_2(n) divides J_{2k}(n). J_2(n) counts the number of 2-tuples (x1,x2), such that 1<=x1, x2<=n and GCD(x1,x2,n)=1 [Enrique Pérez Herrero, 5 Mar 2011].
