%N Numbers that are the product of an even number of distinct primes.

%C These are the positive integers k with moebius(k) = 1 (cf. A008683). - _N. J. A. Sloane_, May 18 2021

%C From _Enrique Pérez Herrero_, Jul 06 2012: (Start)

%C This sequence and A030059 form a partition of the squarefree numbers set: A005117.

%C Also solutions to equation mu(n)=1.

%C Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n)^s = (Zeta(s)^2 + Zeta(2*s))/(2*Zeta(s)*Zeta(2*s)).

%C (End)

%C A008683(a(n)) = 1; a(A220969(n)) mod 2 = 0; a(A220968(n)) mod 2 = 1. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Dec 27 2012

%C Characteristic function for values of a(n) = (mu(n)+1)! - 1, where mu(n) is the Mobius function (A008683). - _Wesley Ivan Hurt_, Oct 11 2013

%C Conjecture: For the matrix M(i,j) = 1 if j|i and 0 otherwise, Inverse(M)(a,1) = -1, for any a in this sequence. - _Benedict W. J. Irwin_, Jul 26 2016

%C Solutions to the equation Sum_{d|n} mu(d)*d = Sum_{d|n} mu(n/d)*d. - _Torlach Rush_, Jan 13 2018

%C Solutions to the equation Sum_{d|n} mu(d)*sigma(d) = n, where sigma(n) is the sum of divisors function (A000203). - _Robert D. Rosales_, May 20 2024

%C From _Peter Munn_, Oct 04 2019: (Start)

%C Numbers n such that omega(n) = bigomega(n) = 2*k for some integer k.

%C The squarefree numbers in A000379.

%C The squarefree numbers in A028260.

%C This sequence is closed with respect to the commutative binary operation A059897(.,.), thus it forms a subgroup of the positive integers under A059897(.,.). A006094 lists a minimal set of generators for this subgroup. The lexicographically earliest ordered minimal set of generators is A100484 with its initial 4 removed.

%C (End)

%C The asymptotic density of this sequence is 3/Pi^2 (cf. A104141). - _Amiram Eldar_, May 22 2020
