%H Paul D. Hanna, <a href="/A117212/b117212.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1000</a>

%F G.f.: Sum_{n>=1} a(n)*x^n/n = log(F(x)), where F(x) is the g.f. of A117210 and satisfies: (1+x) = Product_{n>=1} F(x^n).

%F a(n) = A023900(n) if n (mod 4) = 1 or 3, a(n) = 3*A023900(n) if n (mod 4) = 2, a(n) = -A023900(n) if n (mod 4) = 0, where A023900 is the Dirichlet inverse of Euler totient function.

%F From _Stuart Clary_, Apr 15 2006: (Start)

%F G.f.: A(x) = sum_{k>=1} mu(k) k x^k/(1 + x^k) where mu(k) is the Möbius function, A008683.

%F G.f.: A(x) is x times the logarithmic derivative of A117210(x).

%F G.f.: A(x) = A023900(x) - 2 A023900(x^2).

%F a(n) = sum_{d|n} (-1)^(n/d - 1) mu(d) d.

%F (End)

%F Dirichlet convolution of A055615 and A062157, so the Dirichlet g.f. is the product zeta(s)*(1-2^(1-s))/zeta(s-1). - _R. J. Mathar_, Feb 07 2011

%F Multiplicative with a(2) = -3, a(2^e) = 1 for e >= 2, and a(p^e) = 1 - p for an odd prime p. - _Amiram Eldar_, Aug 31 2023

%e For n=6, Sum_{d|6} a(d)/d = a(1)/1 + a(2)/2 + a(3)/3 + a(6)/6 = 1/1 - 3/2 - 2/3 + 6/6 = -1/6.
