moebius (n)

Description

Represents the Moebius function.

When n is product of k distinct primes, moebius(n) simplifies to (-1)^k; when n = 1, it simplifies to 1; and it simplifies to 0 for all other positive integers.

moebius distributes over equations, lists, matrices, and sets.

Examples:

(%i1) moebius (1);
(%o1)                           1
(%i2) moebius (2 * 3 * 5);
(%o2)                          - 1
(%i3) moebius (11 * 17 * 29 * 31);
(%o3)                           1
(%i4) moebius (2^32);
(%o4)                           0
(%i5) moebius (n);
(%o5)                      moebius(n)
(%i6) moebius (n = 12);
(%o6)                    moebius(n) = 0
(%i7) moebius ([11, 11 * 13, 11 * 13 * 15]);
(%o7)                      [- 1, 1, 1]
(%i8) moebius (matrix ([11, 12], [13, 14]));
                           [ - 1  0 ]
(%o8)                      [        ]
                           [ - 1  1 ]
(%i9) moebius ({21, 22, 23, 24});
(%o9)                      {- 1, 0, 1}
