COMMENTS

Old name was: A061685 appears to count the periodic points for a certain map. If so, then this is the sequence of the numbers of orbits of length n for that map.

FORMULA

If b(n) is the (n+1)th term of A061685, then a(n) = (1/n)*Sum_{d|n}mu(d)b(n/d).

EXAMPLE

b(1)=1, b(2)=9, b(3)=298. Hence a(3)=(1/3)(b(3)-b(1))=99.
