COMMENTS

This sequence is also the number of Lyndon words on {1,2,3} with an even number of 1's and an odd number of 2's except that a(1) = 1 in this case.
Also, a Lyndon word is the aperiodic necklace representative which is lexicographically earliest among its cyclic shifts. Thus we can apply the fixed density formulas: L_k(n,d) = Sum L(n-d, n_1,..., n_(k-1)); n_1 + ... +n_(k-1) = d where L(n_0, n_1,...,n_(k-1)) = (1/n) Sum mu(j)*[(n/j)!/((n_0/j)!(n_1/j)!...(n_(k-1)/j)!)]; j|gcd(n_0, n_1,...,n_(k-1)). For this sequence, sum over n_0, n_1 = odd.

FORMULA
|
a(1) = 0; for n>1, if n = odd then a(n) = Sum_{d|n} (mu(d)*3^(n/d))/(4n). If n = even, then a(n) = Sum_{d|n, d odd} (mu(d)*(3^(n/d)-1))/(4n).
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
For n = 3, out of 8 possible Lyndon words: 112, 113, 122, 123, 132, 133, 223, 233, only 123 and 132 have an odd number of both 1's and 2's. Thus a(3) = 2.
