COMMENTS

a(n)=A008683(A007947(n)).

Multiplicative: a(1) = 1, a(n) for n >=2 is sign of parity of number of distinct primes dividing n. a(p) = -1, a(pq) = 1, a(pq...z) = (-1)^k, a(p^k) = -1, where p,q,.. z are distinct primes and k natural numbers. [From Jaroslav Krizek, Mar 17 2009]

a(n) is the unitary Moebius function, i.e., the inverse of the constant 1 function under the unitary convolution defined by (f X g)(n)= sum of f(d)g(n/d), where the sum is over the unitary divisors d of n (divisors d of n such that gcd(d,n/d)=1). [From Laszlo Toth, Oct 08 2009]
