Periodicity: c_n(k+n) = c_n(k). See the Apostol reference p. 161.

Multiplicativity: c_n(k)*c_m(k) = c_{n*m}(k), if gcd(n,m) = 1. For the proof see the Hardy reference, p. 138.

Dirichlet g.f. for fixed k: D(n,s) := Sum_{n>=1} c_n(k)/n^s = sigma_{1-s}(k)/zeta(s) = sigma_{s-1}(k)/(k^(s-1)*zeta(s)) for s > 1, with sigma_m(k) the sum of the m-th power of the divisors of k. See the Hardy reference, eqs. (9.6.1) and (9.6.2), pp. 139-140, or Hardy-Wright, Theorem 292, p. 250.

Sum_{n>=1} c_n(k)/n = 0. See the Hardy reference, p. 141. (End)

Fredman (1975) proved that the number S(n, k, v) of vectors (a_0, ..., a_{n-1}) of nonnegative integer components that satisfy a_0 + ... + a_{n-1} = k and Sum_{i=0..n-1} i*a_i = v (mod n) is given by S(n, k, v) = (1/(n + k)) * Sum_{d | gcd(n, k)} T(d, v) * binomial((n + k)/d, k/d) = S(k, n, v). This was also proved by Elashvili et al. (1999), who also proved that S(n, k, v) = Sum_{d | gcd(n, k, v)} S(n/d, k/d, 1). Here, S(n, k, 1) = A051168(n + k, k). - Petros Hadjicostas, Jul 09 2019

We have T(n, k) = c_n(k) = Sum_{m=1..n, (m,n)=1} exp(2 Pi i m k / n) and A054532(n, k) = c_k(n) = Sum_{m=1..k, (m,k)=1} exp(2 Pi i m n / k) for n >= 1 and 1 <= k <= n. - Petros Hadjicostas, Jul 27 2019
