Also a(n)-1 is the number of 1's in the truth table for the lexicographically least de Bruijn cycle (Fredricksen).
In music, a(n) is the number of distinct classes of scales and chords in an n-note equal-tempered tuning system. - Paul Cantrell, Dec 28 2011
Also, minimum cardinality of an unavoidable set of length-n binary words (Champarnaud, Hansel, Perrin). - Jeffrey Shallit, Jan 10 2019
(1/n) * Dirichlet convolution of phi(n) and 2^n, n>0. - Richard L. Ollerton, May 06 2021
From Jianing Song, Nov 13 2021: (Start)
a(n) is even for n != 0, 2. Proof: write n = 2^e * s with odd s, then a(n) * s = Sum_{d|s} Sum_{k=0..e} phi((2^e*s)/(2^k*d)) * 2^(2^k*d-e) = Sum_{d|s} Sum_{k=0..e-1} phi(s/d) * 2^(2^k*d-k-1) + Sum_{d|s} phi(s/d) * 2^(2^e*d-e) == Sum_{k=0..e-1} 2^(2^k*s-k-1) + 2^(2^e*s-e) == Sum_{k=0..min{e-1,1}} 2^(2^k*s-k-1) (mod 2). a(n) is odd if and only if s = 1 and e-1 = 0, or n = 2.
a(n) == 2 (mod 4) if and only if n = 1, 4 or n = 2*p^e with prime p == 3 (mod 4).
a(n) == 4 (mod 8) if and only if n = 2^e, 3*2^e for e >= 3, or n = p^e, 4*p^e != 12 with prime p == 3 (mod 4), or n = 2s where s is an odd number such that phi(s) == 4 (mod 8). (End)

EXAMPLE
For n=3 and n=4 the necklaces are {000,001,011,111} and {0000,0001,0011,0101,0111,1111}.
The analogous shift register sequences are {000..., 001001..., 011011..., 111...} and {000..., 00010001..., 00110011..., 0101..., 01110111..., 111...}.

There is an error in Fig. M3860 in the 1995 Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences: in the third line, the formula for A000031 = M0564 should be (1/n) sum phi(d) 2^(n/d).
