COMMENTS
a(n)=|{(x,y):1<=x<=y<=n, gcd(x,y,n)=1}|. E.g. a(4)=7 because of the pairs (1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (2,3), (3,3), (3,4). - Steve Butler, Apr 18 2006
Partial sums of a(n) give A015631(n). - Steve Butler, Apr 18 2006
Equals row sums of triangle A159905. - Gary W. Adamson, Apr 25 2009; corrected by Mats Granvik, Apr 24 2010

FORMULA
a(n) = (A007434(n)+A000010(n))/2, half the sum of the Mobius transforms of n^2 and n. Dirichlet g.f. (zeta(s-2)+zeta(s-1))/(2*zeta(s)). - R. J. Mathar, Feb 09 2011
G.f.: Sum_{n>=1} a(n)*x^n/(1 - x^n) = x/(1 - x)^3. - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Apr 25 2017
