Formula

a(p)+1 = Fibonacci(p+1) for any prime p.

Example

A 4 x 1 rectangle can be tiled in 5 ways:
  +-+-+-+-+  +---+-+-+  +-+---+-+  +-+-+---+      +---+---+
  | | | | |  |   | | |  | |   | |  | | |   |      |   |   |
  +-+-+-+-+, +---+-+-+, +-+---+-+, +-+-+---+ and  +---+---+.
The first tiling is 1-periodic, the last tiling is 2-periodic, while the others are not periodic. Hence a(4)=3.
Note that although the three remaining tilings are equivalent by circular shift, they are considered as distinct.

Mathematica

a[n_] := DivisorSum[n, MoebiusMu[n/#] * Fibonacci[#+1] &]; Array[a, 50] (* Amiram Eldar, Aug 22 2023 *)

Prog
