COMMENTS
The sequence A000364 seems to record the number of points of period n under a map. The number of orbits of length n for this map gives the sequence above.

FORMULA
a(n) = (1/n)* Sum_{d|n} mu(d)*A000364(n/d).
EXAMPLE
u(3) = 20 since the conjectured map whose periodic points are counted by A000364 would have 1 fixed point and 61 points of period 3, so it must have 20 orbits of length 3.
