%N a(n) is the total number of k-reverses of n.

%C See sequence A180171 for the definition of a k-reverse of n.

%C Briefly, a k-reverse of n is a k-composition of n whose reverse is cyclically equivalent to itself.

%C This sequence is the total number of k-reverses of n for k=1,2,...,n.

%C It is the row sums of the 'R(n,k)' triangle from sequence A180171.

%C For example a(6)=26 because there are 26 k-reverses of n=6 for k=1,2,3,4,5, or 6.

%C They are, in cyclically equivalent, classes: {6}, {15,51}, {24,42},{33},{114,411,141},{222} {1113,3111,1311,1131}, {1122,2112,2211,1221}, {1212,2121}, {11112,21111,12111,11211,11121}, {111111}.

%F a(n) = Sum_{d|n} d*A056493(d)/2. - _Andrew Howroyd_, Oct 07 2017

%F From _Petros Hadjicostas_, Oct 15 2017: (Start)

%F a(n) = (n/2)*Sum_{d|n} (phi^(-1)(d)/d)*b(n/d), where phi^(-1)(n) = A023900(n) is the Dirichlet inverse of the Euler totient function and b(n) = A029744(n+1) (= 3*2^((n/2)-1), if n is even, and = 2^((n+1)/2), if n is odd).

%F G.f.: Sum_{n>=1} phi^(-1)(n)*g(x^n), where phi^(-1)(n) = A023900(n) and g(x) = x*(x+1)*(2*x+1)/(1-2*x^2)^2.

%F (End)

%t b[n_] := Sum[MoebiusMu[n/d] * If[OddQ[d], 2, 3] * 2^Quotient[d-1, 2], {d, Divisors[n]}]; a[n_] := Sum[d*b[d], {d, Divisors[n]}] / 2; Array[a, 39] (* _Jean-François Alcover_, Nov 04 2017, after _Andrew Howroyd_ *)

%o (PARI) \\ here b(n) is A056493

%o b(n) = sumdiv(n, d, moebius(n/d) * if(d%2,2,3) * 2^((d-1)\2));

%o a(n) = sumdiv(n, d, d*b(d)) / 2; \\ _Andrew Howroyd_, Oct 07 2017

%Y If we ask for the number of cyclically equivalent classes we get sequence A052955.

%Y For example the 6th term of A052955 is 11, corresponding to the 11 classes in the example above.

%Y Row sums of A180171.

%Y Cf. A056493, A180322.
