FORMULA

a(n) = 1/(2*n) (sum from k=0 to k=n-1 of (3^gcd(n,k)) + (3^(n/2))/ 3 if n is even, a(n) = 1/(2*n) (sum from k=0 to k=n-1 of (3^gcd(n,k)) + (3^((n-1)/2))/ 2 if n is odd, where gcd is the greatest common divisor and gcd(n, 0) equals n. See code below. Also a(n) = 3^n / (2*n) gives a good approximation for large n.

EXAMPLE

a(3) = 1/6 *(3^3+3^1+3^1) + 3^(2/2) / 2 = 7

a(4) = 1/8 * (3^4+3^1+3^2+3^1) + 3^(4/2) / 3 = 15

The 7 cycles of length 3 are: --> 0 --> 0 --> 0, --> 0 <-- 0 --> 0, -0 --> 0 --> 0, -0 --> 0 <-- 0, -0 <-- 0 --> 0, -0-0 --> 0, -0-0-0.
