Comments

Dirichlet g.f. of b(n) = a(n)/A256691(n) is (zeta(x))^(-1/4).

Denominator is the same as for Dirichlet g.f. (zeta(x))^(+1/4).

Formula holds for general Dirichlet g.f. zeta(x)^(-1/k) with k = 1, 2, ...

Formula

with k = 4;

zeta(x)^(-1/k) = Sum_{n>=1} b(n)/n^x;

c(1,n)=b(n); c(k,n) = Sum_{d|n} c(1,d)*c(k-1,n/d), k>1;

Then solve c(k,n) = mu(n) for b(m);

a(n) = numerator(b(n)).

Sum_{j=1..n} A257100(j)/A256691(j) ~ n / (Gamma(-1/4) * log(n)^(5/4)) * (1 + 5*(gamma/4 + 1)/(4*log(n))), where gamma is the Euler-Mascheroni constant A001620 and Gamma() is the gamma function. - Vaclav Kotesovec, May 05 2025

Mathematica

k = 4;
c[1, n_] = b[n];
c[k_, n_] := DivisorSum[n, c[1, #1]*c[k - 1, n/#1] & ]
nn = 100; eqs = Table[c[k, n]==MoebiusMu[n], {n, 1, nn}];
sol = Solve[Join[{b[1] == 1}, eqs], Table[b[i], {i, 1, nn}], Reals];
t = Table[b[n], {n, 1, nn}] /. sol[[1]];
num = Numerator[t] (* A257100 *)
