Formula

G.f.: Sum_{k>=1} (-1)^(k + 1) * k * x^k * (1 + x^k) / (1 - x^k)^3.

a(n) = n * Sum_{d|n} (-1)^(n/d + 1) * d.

a(n) = n * A000593(n).

From Amiram Eldar, Dec 05 2022: (Start)

Multiplicative with a(2^e) = 2^e, and a(p^e) = p^e*(p^(e+1)-1)/(p-1) for p > 2.

Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ c * n^3, where c = Pi^2/36 = 0.2741556... (A353908). (End)

Dirichlet g.f.: zeta(s-1)*zeta(s-2)*(1-2^(2-s)). - Amiram Eldar, Jan 07 2023
