%N Triangle read by rows, A126988 * A128407 as infinite lower triangular matrices.

%C Row sums = A000010, phi(n): (1, 1, 2, 2, 4, 2, 6, 4, 6, 4, 10, 4,...); as a consequence of the Dedekind-Liouville rule illustrated in the example and on p. 137 of "Concrete Mathematics".

%D Ronald L. Graham, Donald E. Knuth & Oren Patashnik, "Concrete Mathematics" 2nd ed.; Addison-Wesley, 1994, p. 137.

%F Triangle read by rows generated from the Dedekind-Liouville rule: T(n,k) = mu(k)*(n/k) if k divides n. T(n,k) = 0 if k is not a divisor of n. Equals A126988 * A128407

%e First few rows of the triangle are:

%e 1;

%e 2, -1;

%e 3, 0, -1;

%e 4, -2, 0, 0;

%e 5, 0, 0, 0, -1;

%e 6, -3, -2, 0, 0, 1;

%e 7, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1;

%e 8, -4, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0;

%e 9, 0, -3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0;

%e 10, -5, 0, 0, -2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1;

%e 11, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1;

%e 12, -6, -4, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0;

%e 13, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1;

%e 14, -7, 0, 0, 0, 0, -2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1;

%e ...

%e Row 12 = (12, -6, -4, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) since (Cf. A126988 - the divisors of 12 are (12, 6, 4, 3, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1) and applying mu(k) * (nonzero terms), we get (1*12, (-1)*6, (-1)*4, 1*2) sum = 4 = phi(12).

%Y Cf. A000010, A128407, A126988, A008683.
