COMMENTS

The multiplicative order of a mod m, GCD(a,m)=1, is the smallest natural number d for which a^d = 1 (mod m). a(n)=number of orders of degree-n monic irreducible polynomials over GF(3).

FORMULA

a(n)=Sum_{ d divides n } mu(n/d)*tau(3^d-1), (mu(n) = Moebius function A008683, tau(n) = number of divisors of n A000005).

EXAMPLE

a(2)=|{4,8}|=2, a(4)=|{5,10,16,20,40,80}|=6, a(6)=|{7,14,28,52,56,91,104,182,364,728}|=10,...

MAPLE

with(numtheory); A059885 := proc(n) local d, s; s := 0; for d in divisors(n) do s := s+mobius(n/d)*tau(3^d-1); od; RETURN(s); end;
