Number of elements in the set {(x,y): 1 <= x <= y <= n, 1=gcd(x,y)}. - Michael Somos, Jun 13 1999
Sum_{k=1..n} phi(k) gives the number of distinct arithmetic progressions which contain an infinite number of primes and whose difference does not exceed n. E.g., {1k+1}, {2k+1}, {3k+1, 3k+2}, {4k+1, 4k+3}, {5k+1, ..5k+4} means 10 sequences. - Labos Elemer, May 02 2001
The quotient A024916(n)/a(n) = SummatorySigma/SummatoryTotient as n increases seems to approach Pi^4/36 = zeta(2)^2 = A098198 ~2.705808084277845. - Labos Elemer, Sep 20 2004 (corrected by Peter Pein, Apr 28 2009)
Also the number of rationals p/q in (0,1] with denominators q<=n. - Franz Vrabec, Jan 29 2005
a(n) is the number of initial segments of Beatty sequences for real numbers > 1, cut off when the next term in the sequence would be >= n. For example, the sequence 1,2 is included for n=3 and n=4, but not for n >= 5 because the next term of the Beatty sequence must be 3 or 4. Problem suggested by David W. Wilson. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Oct 19 2006
Number of complex numbers satisfying any one of {x^1=1, x^2=1, x^3=1, x^4=1, x^5=1, ..., x^n=1}. - Paul Smith (math.idiot(AT)gmail.com), Mar 19 2007
a(n+2) equals the number of Sturmian words of length n which are 'special', prefix of two Sturmian words of length n+1. - Fred Lunnon, Sep 05 2010
For n > 1: A020652(a(n)) = 1 and A038567(a(n)) = n; for n > 0: A214803(a(n)) = 1. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jul 29 2012
Also number of elements in the set {(x,y): 1 <= x + y <= n, x >= 0, y > 0, with x and y relatively prime integers}. Thus, the number of reduced rational numbers x/y with x nonnegative, y positive, and x + y <= n. (For n >= 1, 0 <= x/y <= n - 1, clearly including each integer in this interval.) - Rick L. Shepherd, Apr 08 2014
This function, the partial sums of phi = A000010, is sometimes denoted by (uppercase) Phi. - M. F. Hasler, Apr 18 2015
From Roger Ford, Jan 16 2016: (Start)
For n >= 1: a(n) is the number of perfect arched semi-meander solutions with n arches. To be perfect the number of arch groupings must equal the number of arches with a length of 1 in the current generation and every preceding generation.
Example: p is the number of arches with length 1 (/\), g is the number of arch groups (-), n is number of arches in the top half of a semi-meander solution
/\
/\ //\\
//\\-/\-///\\\- n=6 p=3 g=3 Each preceding arch configuration
/\ /\ is formed by attaching the arch
/\-//\\-//\\- n=5 p=3 g=3 end in the first position and the
/\ arch end in the last position.
//\\
///\\\-/\- n=4 p=2 g=2
/\
//\\-/\- n=3 p=2 g=2
/\-/\- n=2 p=2 g=2
/\- n=1 p=1 g=1. (End)
a(n) is the number of distinct lists of binary words of length n that are balanced (Sturmian). - Dan Rockwell, Will Wodrich, Aaliyah Fiala, and Bob Burton, May 30 2019

FORMULA
a(n) = (3*n^2)/(Pi^2) + O(n log n).
More precisely, a(n) = (3/Pi^2)*n^2 + O(n*(log(n))^(2/3)*(log(log(n)))^(4/3)), (A. Walfisz 1963). - Benoit Cloitre, Feb 02 2003
a(n) = (1/2)*Sum_{k>=1} mu(k)*floor(n/k)*floor(1+n/k). - Benoit Cloitre, Apr 11 2003
a(n) = A000217(n) - A063985(n) = A018805(n) - A015614(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jan 21 2013
A slightly simpler version of Cloitre's formula is a(n) = 1/2 + Sum_{k=1..oo} floor(n/k)^2*mu(k)/2. - Bill Gosper, Jul 25 2020
The quotient A024916(n)/a(n) = SummatorySigma/SummatoryTotient as n increases seems to approach (Pi^4)/36 = Zeta(2)^2 = 2.705808084277845. See also A067282. - Labos Elemer, Sep 21 2004
A024916(n)/a(n) = zeta(2)^2 + O(log(n)/n). This follows from asymptotic formulas for the sequences. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Oct 19 2006
Row sums of triangle A134542. - Gary W. Adamson, Oct 31 2007
G.f.: (Sum_{n>=1} mu(n)*x^n/(1-x^n)^2)/(1-x), where mu(n) = A008683(n). - Mamuka Jibladze, Apr 06 2015
a(n) = A005728(n) - 1, for n >= 0. - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 22 2016
a(n) = (Sum_{k=1..floor(sqrt(n))} k*(k+1) * (M(floor(n/k)) - M(floor(n/(k+1)))) + Sum_{k=1..floor(n/(1+floor(sqrt(n))))} mu(k) * floor(n/k) * floor(1+n/k))/2, where M(k) is the Mertens function (A002321) and mu(k) is the Moebius function (A008683). - Daniel Suteu, Nov 23 2018
a(n) = A015614(n)+1. - R. J. Mathar, Apr 26 2023
a(n) = A000217(n) - Sum{k=2..n} a(floor(n/k)). From summing over Id = 1 (Dirichlet convolution) phi. - Jason Xu, Jul 31 2024
