COMMENTS

The number of distinct linear fractional transformations of order n. Also the half-totient function can be used to construct a tree containing all the integers. On the zeroth rank we have just the integers 1 and 2 : immediate "ancestors" of 1 and 2 are (1: 3,4,6 2: 5,8,10,12) etc. - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Jun 03 2002

Moebius transform of floor(n/2). - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Mar 20 2005

Also number of different kinds of regular n-gons, one convex, the others self-intersecting. - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Aug 20 2005

Contribution from Artur Jasinski (grafix(AT)csl.pl), Oct 28 2008: (Start)

Degrees of minimal polynomials of cos(2*Pi/n). The first few are

1: x - 1

2: x + 1

3: 2*x + 1

4: x

5: 4*x^2 + 2*x - 1

6: 2*x - 1

7: 8*x^3 + 4*x^2 - 4*x - 1

8: 2*x^2 - 1

9: 8*x^3 - 6*x + 1

10: 4*x^2 - 2*x - 1

11: 32*x^5 + 16*x^4 - 32*x^3 - 12*x^2 + 6*x + 1

These polynomials have solvable Galois groups, so their roots can be expressed by radicals. (End)

a(n) is the number of rationals p/q in the interval [0,1] such that p + q = n. - Geoffrey Critzer, Oct 10 2011.
