Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

From Petros Hadjicostas, Dec 30 2018: (Start)
a(n+2) = (1/n)*Sum_{d|n} phi(n/d)*c(d), where c(n) = n*a(n) + Sum_{s=1..n-1} c(s)*a(n-s) with a(1) = a(2) = 1, c(1) = 1, and c(2) = 3.
G.f.: If A(x) = Sum_{n>=1} a(n)*x^n, then Sum_{n>=1} a(n+2)*x^n = -Sum_{n>=1} (phi(n)/n)*log(1-A(x^n)).
The g.f. of the auxiliary sequence (c(n): n>=1) is C(x) = Sum_{n>=1} c(n)*x^n = x*(dA(x)/dx)/(1-A(x)) = x + 3*x^2 + 7*x^3 + 19*x^4 + 46*x^5 + 117*x^6 + 281*x^7 + 707*x^8 + 1717*x^9 + 4288*x^10 + 10583*x^11 + 26401*x^12 + ...
(End)
The first two terms of the sequence must be specified. In general, if the sequence (b(n): n >= 1) is such that (b(n+2): n >= 1) = CIK((b(n): n >= 1)), then b(3) = b(1), b(4) = (1/2)*(b(1)^2 + 2*b(2) + b(1)), b(5) = (b(1)/3)*(b(1)^2 + 3*b(2) + 5), and so on. - Petros Hadjicostas, Jan 01 2019
