COMMENT

Any primitive Dirichlet character is weakly primitive (not conversely). Jager uses the phrase "proper character", but this conflicts with other authors (e.g., W. Ellison and F. Ellison, Prime Numbers, Wiley, 1985, p. 224) who use the word "proper" to mean the same as "primitive".

REFERENCES

H. Jager, On the number of Dirichlet characters with modulus not exceeding x, Nederl. Akad. Wetensch. Proc. Ser. A 76=Indag. Math. 35 (1973) 452-455.

FORMULA

a(n) = sum A114643(n/d), where the sum is over all divisors 1<=d<=n of A055231(n).

This sequence is multiplicative with a(2)=1, a(4)=1, a(8)=2, a(2^r)=0 for r>2, a(p)=2 for prime p>2 and a(p^r)=0 for r>1. - S. R. Finch (Steven.Finch(AT)inria.fr), Mar 08 2006

EXAMPLE

The function chi defined on the integers by chi(1)=1, chi(5)=-1 and

chi(2)=chi(3)=chi(4)=chi(6)=0 [and extended periodically] is a

weakly primitive character mod 6, but not mod 12 or mod 18. In this

sense, we eliminate the "overcounting" of real Dirichlet characters

in A060594.
