Comments

We call a Lyndon word (x[1],x[2],...,x[n]) smooth if abs(x[k]-x[k-1]) <= 1 for 2<=k<=n, and cyclically smooth if abs(x[1]-x[n]) <= 1.

Formula

a(n) = sum_{ d divides n } moebius(n/d) * A208774(d).

Example

The cyclically smooth necklaces (N) and Lyndon words (L) of length 4 with 5 colors (using symbols ".", "1", "2", "3", and "4") are:
    ....   1       .  N
    ...1   4    ...1  N L
    ..11   4    ..11  N L
    .1.1   2      .1  N
    .111   4    .111  N L
    .121   4    .121  N L
    1111   1       1  N
    1112   4    1112  N L
    1122   4    1122  N L
    1212   2      12  N
    1222   4    1222  N L
    1232   4    1232  N L
    2222   1       2  N
    2223   4    2223  N L
    2233   4    2233  N L
    2323   2      23  N
    2333   4    2333  N L
    2343   4    2343  N L
    3333   1       3  N
    3334   4    3334  N L
    3344   4    3344  N L
    3434   2      34  N
    3444   4    3444  N L
    4444   1       4  N
There are 24 necklaces (so A208774(4)=24) and a(4)=15 Lyndon words.

Mathematica

terms = 40;
sn[n_, k_] := 1/n Sum[EulerPhi[j] (1+2Cos[i Pi/(k+1)])^(n/j), {i, 1, k}, {j, Divisors[n]}];
vn = Table[Round[sn[n, 5]], {n, terms}];
vl = Table[Sum[MoebiusMu[n/d] vn[[d]], {d, Divisors[n]}], {n, terms}] (* Jean-François Alcover, Jul 22 2018, after Joerg Arndt *)

Prog

(PARI)
default(realprecision, 99); /* using floats */

/* Lyndon words, via Moebius inversion: */
vl=vector(#vn, n, sumdiv(n, d, moebius(n/d)*vn[d]))
