COMMENT

Let R_k(n) be the number of compositions (ordered partitions) of n with k relatively prime parts. We have the following expressions for R: Formula: R_k(n) = sum_{d|n} C(d-1,k-1)mobius(n/d) Recurrence: C(n,k) = sum_{j=k..n} [n/j]R_k(j) for k>1 and R_1(j) = delta_j1 (the Kronecker delta). G.f.: sum_{j=1..infty} R_k(j)(x^j/(1-x^j)) = (x/(1-x))^k - C. Ronaldo
