COMMENTS

Any primitive Dirichlet character is weakly primitive (not conversely). Jager uses the phrase "proper character", but this conflicts with other authors (e.g., W. Ellison and F. Ellison, Prime Numbers, Wiley, 1985, p. 224) who use the word "proper" to mean the same as "primitive".

FORMULA

a(n) is multiplicative with a(p)=phi(p), a(p^k)=phi(p^k)-phi(p^(k-1)) and phi(n)=A000010(n). a(n) = sum A007431(n/d), where the sum is over all divisors 1<=d<=n of A055231(n).

EXAMPLE

The function chi defined on the integers by chi(1)=1, chi(5)=-1 and

chi(2)=chi(3)=chi(4)=chi(6)=0 [and extended periodically] is a

weakly primitive character mod 6, but not mod 12 or mod 18. In this

sense, we eliminate the "overcounting" of complex Dirichlet characters in A000010.
