Inverse Moebius transform of A034444: Sum_{d|n} 2^omega(d), where omega(n) = A001221(n) is the number of distinct primes dividing n.
Number of elements in the set {(x,y): x|n, y|n, gcd(x,y)=1}.
Number of elements in the set {(x,y): lcm(x,y)=n}.
Also gives total number of positive integral solutions (x,y), order being taken into account, to the optical or parallel resistor equation 1/x + 1/y = 1/n. Indeed, writing the latter as X*Y=N, with X=x-n, Y=y-n, N=n^2, the one-to-one correspondence between solutions (X, Y) and (x, y) is obvious, so that clearly, the solution pairs (x, y) are tau(N)=tau(n^2) in number. - Lekraj Beedassy, May 31 2002
Number of ordered pairs of positive integers (a,c) such that n^2 - ac = 0. Therefore number of quadratic equations of the form ax^2 + 2nx + c = 0 where a,n,c are positive integers and each equation has two equal (rational) roots, -n/a. (If a and c are positive integers, but, instead, the coefficient of x is odd, it is impossible for the equation to have equal roots.) - Rick L. Shepherd, Jun 19 2005
Problem A1 on the 21st Putnam competition in 1960 (see John Scholes link) asked for the number of pairs of positive integers (x,y) such that xy/(x+y) = n: the answer is a(n); for n = 4, the a(4) = 5 solutions (x,y) are (5,20), (6,12), (8,8), (12,6), (20,5). - Bernard Schott, Feb 12 2023

tau(n^2) = Sum_{d|n} mu(n/d)*tau(d)^2, where mu(n) = A008683(n), cf. A061391.
Dirichlet g.f.: (zeta(s))^3/zeta(2s). - R. J. Mathar, Feb 11 2011
Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ n*(6/Pi^2)*(log(n)^2/2 + log(n)*(3*gamma - 1) + 1 - 3*gamma + 3*gamma^2 - 3*gamma_1 + (2 - 6*gamma - 2*log(n))*zeta'(2)/zeta(2) + (2*zeta'(2)/zeta(2))^2 - 2*zeta''(2)/zeta(2)), where gamma is Euler's constant (A001620) and gamma_1 is the first Stieltjes constant (A082633). - Amiram Eldar, Jan 26 2023
