FORMULA

a(n) = Sum((n-a)*(n-b);1<=a<n,1<=b<n,(a,b)=1) - Sum((n-2*a)*(n-2*b);1<=2*a<n,1<=2*b<n,(a,b)=1). a(n) = Sum(f(a,b)-g(a,b);1<=a<n,1<=b<n,), f(a,b) the number of irreducible fractions p/q with 1<=p<=a,1<=q<=b, g(a,b) the number of rationals admitting at least one reducible form p/q with 1<=p<=a,1<=q<=b (Philippe Paclet). a(n) = (9/(8*pi^2))*n^4 + O(n^3 ln(n)).

EXAMPLE

For n = 3 draw vertically 3 points regularly spaced on the right, and 3 points regularly spaced on the left. Join the left and right points by straight lines. These lines cross in c(3) = 7 points.

PROG

(Other) (PASCAL) s1:=0; s2:=0; for a:=1 to n-1 do for b:=1 to n-1 do if gcd(a, b)=1 then begin s1:=s1+(n-a)*(n-b); if (2*a<=n-1) and (2*b<=n-1) then s2:=s2+(n-2*a)*(n-2*b); end; a:=s1-s2;

CROSSREFS
