Comments

Conjectures relating to the Mobius sequence A008683:

If mu(n) = 0, a(n) = 0.

If mu(n) = 1, (n>1), a(n) = a negative term.

If mu(n) = -1, a(n) = a positive term.

So except for the first term and zero divided by zero we would have mu(n) = -a(n)/abs(a(n)).

Examples: mu(4) = 0, a(4) = 0; mu(6) = 1, a(6) = (-3); mu(7) = (-1), a(7) = 6.

Formula

A054525 as an infinite lower triangular matrix * A014963 as a vector.

Example

a(5) = -3 = (1, -1, -1, 0, 0, 1) dot (1, 2, 3, 2, 5, 1) = (1 - 2 - 3 + 0 + 0 + 1), where (1, -1, -1, 0, 0, 1) = row 5 of triangle A054525 and (1, 2, 3, 2, 5, 1) = the first 5 terms of A014963.
