FORMULA

a(n) = 2*( Sum phi(j), j=1..n ) - 1.

a(n) = n^2 - Sum a([ n/j ]), j=2..n.

a(n) = 2*A015614(n) + 1. - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Apr 08 2006

a(n) = 2*A002088(n) - 1. - Hugo van der Sanden (hv(AT)crypt.org), Nov 22 2008

a(n) ~ (1/Zeta(2)) * n^2 = (6/pi^2) * n^2 as n goes to infinity (zeta is the Riemann zeta function, A013661, and the constant 6/pi^2 is 0.607927..., A059956). - Ahmed Fares (ahmedfares(AT)my-deja.com), Jul 18 2001

a(n) = sum(k=1, n, mu(k)*floor(n/k)^2). - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), May 11 2003
