FORMULA

a(n) = Sum_{ d divides n } phi(d)*2^(n/d)/(2*n) + either 2^((n-1)/2) if n odd or 2^(n/2-1)+2^(n/2-2) if n even.

MAPLE

with(numtheory): A000029 := proc(n) local d, s; if n = 0 then RETURN(1); else if n mod 2 = 1 then s := 2^((n-1)/2) else s := 2^(n/2-2)+2^(n/2-1); fi; for d in divisors(n) do s := s+phi(d)*2^(n/d)/(2*n); od; RETURN(s); fi; end;

MATHEMATICA

a[0] := 1; a[n_] := Fold[ # 1 + EulerPhi[ # 2]2^(n/ # 2)/(2n) &, If[OddQ[n], 2^((n - 1)/2), 2^(n/2 - 1) + 2^(n/2 - 2)], Divisors[n]]

PROG

(PARI) a(n)=if(n<1, !n, (n%2+3)/4*2^(n\2)+sumdiv(n, d, eulerphi(n/d)*2^d)/2/n)
