%F a(n) = Sum_{ d divides n } mu(d)*A000029(n/d).

%F From _Herbert Kociemba_, Nov 28 2016: (Start)

%F More generally, for n>0, gf(k) is the g.f. for the number of bracelets with primitive period n and beads of k colors.

%F gf(k): Sum_{n>=1} mu(n)*( -log(1-k*x^n)/n + Sum_{i=0..2} binomial(k,i)x^(n*i)/(1-k*x^(2*n)) )/2. (End)

%p with(numtheory); A001371 := proc(n) local s,d; if n = 0 then RETURN(1) else s := 0; for d in divisors(n) do s := s+mobius(d)*A000029(n/d); od; RETURN(s); fi; end;

%t a29[n_] := a29[n] = (s = If[OddQ[n], 2^((n-1)/2) , 2^(n/2 - 2) + 2^(n/2 - 1)]; a29[0] = 1; Do[s = s + EulerPhi[d]*2^(n/d)/(2*n), {d, Divisors[n]}]; s); a[n_] := Sum[ MoebiusMu[d]*a29[n/d], {d, Divisors[n]}]; a[0] = 1; Table[ a[n], {n, 0, 34}] (* _Jean-François Alcover_, Oct 04 2011 *)

%t mx=40;gf[x_,k_]:=Sum[ MoebiusMu[n]*(-Log[1-k*x^n]/n+Sum[Binomial[k,i]x^(n i),{i,0,2}]/( 1-k x^(2n)))/2,{n,mx}]; ReplacePart[CoefficientList[Series[gf[x,2],{x,0,mx}],x],1->1] (* _Herbert Kociemba_, Nov 28 2016 *)
