%N Number of subgroups of dihedral group: sigma(n) + d(n).

%C Essentially first differences of A257644. - _Franklin T. Adams-Watters_, Nov 05 2015

%C Write D_{2n} as <a, x | a^n = x^2 = 1, x*a*x = a^(-1)>, then the subgroups are of the form <a^d> for d|n or <a^d, a^r*x> for d|n and 0 <= r < d. There are d(n) subgroups of the first type and sigma(n) subgroups of the second type. - _Jianing Song_, Jul 21 2022

%e a(4) = 10 since D_8 = <a, x | a^4 = x^2 = 1, x*a*x = a^(-1)> has 10 subgroups. The 6 subgroups {e}, {e,a^2}, {e,a,a^2,a^3}, {e,a^2,x,a^2*x}, {e,a^2,a*x,a^3*x} and D_8 are normal, and the 4 subgroups {e,x}, {e,a*x}, {e,a^2*x} and {e,a^3*x} are not. - _Jianing Song_, Jul 21 2022
