COMMENT

Also number of compositions of n into relatively prime parts. Also number of subsets of {1,2,..,n} containing n and consisting of relatively prime numbers. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)Eunet.yu), Aug 13 2003

Also number of perfect parity patterns that have exactly n columns (see A118141). - D. E. Knuth, May 11 2006

a(n) is odd if and only if n is squarefree (Tim Keller). - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Apr 27 2007

a(n) is a multiple of 3 for all n>=3 (see Problem 11161, American Mathematical Monthly, vol. 114, No. 4, 2007, p. 363). [From Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Aug 13 2008]

Starting with offset 1, = Mobius transform (A054525) of [1, 2, 4, 8,...]; = row sums of triangle A143424. [From Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Aug 14 2008]
