3 times the sum of the divisors of n.
From Omar E. Pol, Jul 04 2016: (Start)
a(n) is also the total number of horizontal rhombuses in the terraces of the n-th level of an irregular stepped pyramid (starting from the top) where the structure of every 120-degree three-dimensional sector arises after the 120-degree zig-zag folding of every row of the diagram of the isosceles triangle A237593. The top of the pyramid is a hexagon formed by three rhombuses (see Links section).
More generally, if k >= 3 then k*sigma(n) is also the total number of horizontal rhombuses in the terraces of the n-th level of an irregular stepped pyramid where the structure of every 360/k three-dimensional sector arises after the 360/k-degree zig-zag folding of every row of the diagram of the isosceles triangle A237593. If k >= 5 the top of the pyramid is a k-pointed star formed by k rhombuses. (End)

FORMULA
|
a(n) = 3*A000203(n) = A000203(n) + A074400(n) = A239050(n) - A000203(n).
Dirichlet g.f.: 3*zeta(s-1)*zeta(s). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jul 04 2016
a(n) = A274536(n)/2. - Antti Karttunen, Nov 16 2017
From Omar E. Pol, Oct 02 2018: (Start)
Conjecture 1: a(n) = sigma(2*n) = A062731(n) iff n is odd.
And more generally:
Conjecture 2: If p is prime then (p + 1)*sigma(n) = sigma(p*n) iff n is not a multiple of p. (End)
The above claims easily follow from the fact that sigma is multiplicative function, thus if p does not divide n, then sigma(p*n) = sigma(p)*sigma(n). - Antti Karttunen, Nov 21 2019
