FORMULA

a(n) is multiplicative with a(2^e) = (3-e) * 2^e if e>0, a(p^e) = (e+1) * p^e if p>2.

a(16*n + 8) = 0.

EXAMPLE

x + 4*x^2 + 6*x^3 + 4*x^4 + 10*x^5 + 24*x^6 + 14*x^7 + 27*x^9 + 40*x^10 + ...

PROG

(PARI) {a(n) = local(A, p, e); if( n<1, 0, A = factor(n); prod(k=1, matsize(A)[1], if(p = A[k, 1], e = A[k, 2]; if( p==2, (3-e), e+1) * p^e)))}

(PARI) {a(n) = if( n<1, 0, polcoeff( sum(k=1, n, k * x^k / (1 + (-x)^k)^2, x*O(x^n)), n))}

CROSSREFS

A038040(2*n + 1) = a(2*n + 1). -16 * A038040(n) = a(16*n).
