COMMENTS

Also, a(n) = mu(n)*uphi(n) where mu(n) is the Mobius function (A008683) and uphi(n) is the unitary totient function (A047994), since phi(n) = uphi(n) when n is squarefree, while mu(n) = 0 when n is not squarefree. - Frank Adams-Watters (FrankTAW(AT)Netscape.net), May 14 2006

Conjecture: Sum_n=1..inf mu(n)/phi(n) = Sum_n=1..inf a(n)/phi(n)^2 = 0 It is true that Sum_n=1..inf mu(n)/phi(n)^s = 0 at least for s > 1 since: phi(2)=1, phi is multiplicative, so for n's that are squarefree, the phi(n) values can be partitioned in pairs where phi(m)=phi(2m) and mu(m) = -mu(2m). So Sum_i=1..n mu(i)/phi(i)^s < Sum j=[n/2]..n 1/phi(j)^s which approaches 0 as n increases since 1) n^(1-e) < phi(n) < n for any e > 0 and n > N(e) and 2) Sum_i..n 1/n^s converges for s > 1. Conjecture: Sum_n=1..inf mu(n)/phi(n)^z = 0 for Re(z) > 1

Multiplicative with a(p^1) = 1-p, a(p^e) = 0, e > 1. Mitch Harris (Harris.Mitchell(AT)mgh.harvard.edu) May 24, 2005.
