%N The twisted Euler phi-function for the non-principal Dirichlet character mod 3.
%C The non-principal Dirichlet character mod 3 is chi(n) = A049347(n-1). The twisted Euler phi-function is defined as a(n) = phi(n,chi) = n*Product_{p|n} (1-chi(p)/p), where the product is over all primes p that divide n.
%C The sequence appears to be the Dirichlet convolution of the sequence A055615(n) and a sequence of signed 1's with the same characteristic function as A156277.
%C Sequences phi(n,chi) are defined as well for chi=A101455, chi=A080891, chi=A134667 and so on.
