COMMENTS

The sequence A001641 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

If a(n) is the n-th term of A001641, then the n-th term is u(n) = (1/n)* Sum_{ d divides n }\mu(d)a(n/d)

EXAMPLE

u(7) = 7 since a map whose periodic points are counted by A001641 would have 1 fixed point and 50 points of period 7, hence 7 orbits of length 7.
