A069626 Number of sets of integers larger than one whose least common multiple is n. 6

%N Number of sets of integers larger than one whose least common multiple is n.

%C a(p) = 1, a(p*q) = 5, a(p^2*q) = 13, a(p^3) = 4, a(p^4) = 8 etc. where p and q are primes. It can be shown that a(p^k) = 2^(k-1). Problem: find an expression for a(N) when N = p^a*q^b*r^c*..., p,q,r are primes.

%F a(n) = Sum_{ d divides n } mu(n/d)*2^(tau(d)-1). - _Vladeta Jovovic_, Jul 07 2003

%F a(n) >= A286518, a(n) >= A318670. - _Antti Karttunen_, Feb 17 2024

%F a(n) = A076078(n)/2, for n > 1. - _Ridouane Oudra_, Mar 12 2024

%e a(6) = 5 as there are five such sets of natural numbers larger than one whose least common multiple is six: {6}, {2, 6}, {3, 6}, {2, 3} and {2, 3, 6}.

%e a(12) = 22 from {12}, {4,3}, {2,4,3}, {4,6}, {2,4,6}, {4,3,6}, {2,4,3,6}, {2,12}, {4,12}, {2,4,12}, {3,12}, {2,3,12}, {4,3,12}, {2,4,3,12}, {6,12}, {2,6,12}, {4,6,12}, {2,4,6,12}, {3,6,12}, {2,3,6,12}, {4,3,6,12}, {2,4,3,6,12}.

%e From _Antti Karttunen_, Feb 18 2024: (Start)

%e a(1) = 1 as there is only one set that satisfies the criteria, namely, an empty set {}, whose lcm is 1.

%e a(2) = 1 as the only set that satisfies the criteria is a singleton set {2}.
