REFERENCES

E. Deutsch and M. S. Klamkin, Problem 10540, Amer. Math. Monthly 108, (2001), p. 172.

FORMULA

a(n)=denominator of [n(n-1)(n^2-n-1)+4sum(floor(n/(k^2))*phi(k), k=2...floor(sqrt(n)))-2sum(floor(n/k)^2*phi(k), k=2... n)]/(2n^4).

EXAMPLE

a(3)=27 because at the 81 quadruples (x,y,z,u) (1<=x,y,z,u<=3) the function

(x-y)/(x+y)+(y-z)/(y+z)+(z-u)/(z+u)+(u-x)/(u+x) assumes twelve times the value 1/30, twelve times the value -1/30 and fiftyseven times the value 0; then the considered probablity is 12/81=4/27.
