A143325 Table T(n,k) by antidiagonals. T(n,k) is the number of length n primitive (=aperiodic or period n) k-ary words (n,k >= 1) which are earlier in lexicographic order than any other word derived by cyclic shifts of the alphabet. 24

COMMENTS
Column k is Dirichlet convolution of mu(n) with k^(n-1). The coefficients of the polynomial of row n are given by the n-th row of triangle A054525; for example row 4 has polynomial -k+k^3.

FORMULA
T(n,k) = Sum_{d|n} k^(d-1) * mu(n/d).
T(n,k) = k^(n-1) - Sum_{d<n,d|n} T(d,k).
T(n,k) = A074650(n,k) * n/k.
T(n,k) = A143324(n,k) / k.
EXAMPLE
T(4,2)=6, because 6 words of length 4 over 2-letter alphabet {a,b} are primitive and earlier than others derived by cyclic shifts of the alphabet: aaab, aaba, aabb, abaa, abba, abbb; note that aaaa and abab are not primitive and words beginning with b can be derived by shifts of the alphabet from words in the list; secondly note that the words in the list need not be Lyndon words, for example aaba can be derived from aaab by a cyclic rotation of the positions.

CROSSREFS
Rows n=1-5, 7 give: A000012, A001477, A005563, A007531, A123865, A123866.
Main diagonal gives A075147.
