COMMENTS

Sum(k=1,n,a(k)) appears to be asymptotic to C*n*Log(n) with C=0.4... - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Aug 19 2002

Multiplicative with a(3) = 1, a(3^e) = 3, e >= 2, a((3k+1)^e) = 3, a((3k+2)^e) = 1. David W. Wilson (davidwwilson(AT)comcast.net) May 22, 2005.

FORMULA

Let b(n) be the number of primes dividing n which are congruent to 1 mod 3 (sequence A005088); then a(n) is 3^b(n) if n is not divisible by 9 and 3^(b(n) + 1) if n is divisible by 9.

Sequence is multiplicative. - David W. Wilson, Jan 06 2005.

EXAMPLE

a(7) = 3 because the three solutions to x^3 == 1 mod 7 are: x = 1,2,4

MATHEMATICA

a[n_] := Sum[ If[ Mod[k^3-1, n] == 0, 1, 0], {k, 1, n}]; Table[ a[n], {n, 1, 105}](* From Jean-François Alcover, Nov 14 2011, after Pari *)

PROG

(PARI) a(n)=sum(i=1, n, if((i^3-1)%n, 0, 1))
