Seiichi Manyama, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..386
FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k=1,..n} Sum_{d|k} (-1)^(k/d + 1) * (d^n - (d - 1)^n).
a(n) = [x^n] (1/(1 - x)) * Sum_{k>=1} (k^n - (k - 1)^n) * x^k/(1 + x^k).
a(n) ~ n^n. - Vaclav Kotesovec, May 28 2021
MATHEMATICA
a[n_] := Sum[(-1)^(k + 1) * Quotient[n, k]^n, {k, 1, n}]; Array[a, 18] (* Amiram Eldar, May 27 2021 *)
PROG
(PARI) a(n) = sum(k=1, n, (-1)^(k+1)*(n\k)^n);
(PARI) a(n) = sum(k=1, n, sumdiv(k, d, (-1)^(k/d+1)*(d^n-(d-1)^n)));
