%N a(n) = sigma_9(n), the sum of the 9th powers of the divisors of n.

%C If the canonical factorization of n into prime powers is the product of p^e(p) then sigma_k(n) = Product_p ((p^((e(p)+1)*k))-1)/(p^k-1).

%C Sum_{d|n} 1/d^k is equal to sigma_k(n)/n^k. So sequences A017665-A017712 also give the numerators and denominators of sigma_k(n)/n^k for k = 1..24. The power sums sigma_k(n) are in sequences A000203 (k=1), A001157-A001160 (k=2,3,4,5), A013954-A013972 for k = 6,7,...,24. - Ahmed Fares (ahmedfares(AT)my-deja.com), Apr 05 2001

%C Note that the sequence is not monotonically increasing, with a(4488) > a(4489) being the first of infinitely many examples. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Dec 28 2021

%F n^9 + 1 <= a(n) < zeta(9)*n^9. In particular, Grönwall proves lim sup a(n)/n^9 = zeta(9) = A013667. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Dec 27 2021

%F Sum_{n>=1} a(n)/exp(2*Pi*n) = 1/264 = Bernoulli(10)/20. - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, May 07 2023

%F From _Amiram Eldar_, Oct 29 2023: (Start)

%F Multiplicative with a(p^e) = (p^(9*e+9)-1)/(p^9-1).

%F Dirichlet g.f.: zeta(s)*zeta(s-9).

%F Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) = zeta(10) * n^10 / 10 + O(n^11). (End)
