COMMENTS

Moebius(k)=1 iff k is the product of an even number of distinct primes (cf. A008683). See A057627 for Moebius(k)=0.
There was an old comment here that said a(n) was equal to A072613(n) + 1, but this is false (e.g., at n=210). - N. J. A. Sloane, Sep 10 2008

FORMULA
|
Asymptotics: Let N(i) = number of k in the range [1,n] with mu(k) = i, for i = 0, 1, -1. Then we know N(1) + N(-1) ~ 6n/Pi^2 (see A059956). Also, assuming the Riemann hypothesis, | N(1) - N(-1) | < n^(1/2 + epsilon) (see the Mathworld Mertens Conjecture link). Hence a(n) = N(1) ~ 3n/Pi^2 + smaller order terms. - Stefan Steinerberger, Sep 10 2008
