COMMENTS
The Jordan function J_m(n) can be defined as multiplicative with J_m(p^e) = (p^m-1)*p^(m*(e-1)). Cf. A059379.
Looking at the sequences J_m(n) for fixed m, one is struck by the fact that all but a few early terms have a common factor, given in A079612. I will refer to this sequence as K(n), following the notation in the paper by Vaughan and Wooley. (The alternate lambda^*(n) in the comment for A006863 is too awkward.)
In fact, K(m) not only divides J_m(n) for all but finitely many n; it also divides Sum_{k=1..n} J_m(k) for all but finitely many n.
J_1(n) = phi(n) and phi(n)/2 and Sum_{k=1..n} phi(n)/2 are A023022 and A046657.
The weight of the n-th elliptic division polynomial -- the analog of cyclotomic polynomials for elliptic divisibility sequences. That is, let e1 = b1, e2 = b2*b1, e3 = b3*b1, e4 = b2*b4*b1, e5 = (b2^4*b4 - b3^3)*b1 = b5*e1 and so on be an elliptic divisibility sequence. Let c2 = b2^4*b4, c3 = b3^3, c4 = b4^2 and cn = bn for n>4. Then c5 = c2 - c3, c6 = c5 - c4, c7 = c6*c3 - c5*c4 and so on. Let the weight of c2, c3, c4 each be 1 and weight of a product is sum of the weights of the factors. The weight of cn is a(n) for n>4. - Michael Somos, Aug 12 2008
