FORMULA

a(n) = Sum_{k = 1..n} floor((n+1)/k). - N. J. A. Sloane (njas(AT)research.att.com), Oct 28 2008

Since a(n) = A006218(n+1) - 1, asymptotics and bounds may be obtained from that entry.

EXAMPLE

These are the coefficients of x in the Moebius polynomials, which begin: M(1,x) = 1; M(2,x) = 1 + 2x; M(3,x) = 1 + 4x + 2x^2; M(4,x) = 1 + 7x + 8x^2 + 2x^3; M(5,x) = 1 + 9x + 15x^2 + 10x^3 + 2x^4; M(6,x) = 1 + 13x + 30x^2 + 27x^3 + 12x^4 + 2x^5; M(7,x) = 1 + 15x + 43x^2 + 57x^3 + 39x^4 + 14x^5 + 2x^6; M(8,x) = 1 + 19x + 67x^2 + 108x^3 + 98x^4 + 53x^5 + 16x^6 + 2x^7.
