Formula

a(n) is multiplicative with a(2^e) = e + 1, a(p^e) = e + 1 if p == 1 (mod 4), a(p^e) = (1 + (-1)^e) / 2 if p == 3 (mod 4). - Michael Somos, Jan 05 2012

a(4*n + 3) = a(9*n + 3) = a(9*n + 6) = 0. a(4*n + 1) = A008441(n). a(8*n + 1) = A113407(n). a(8*n + 5) = 2 * A053692(n). a(12*n + 1) = A002175(n). a(12*n + 5) = 2 * A121444(n).

Dirichlet g.f.: zeta(s)*beta(s)/(1 - 2^(-s)), where beta is the Dirichlet beta function. - Ralf Stephan, Mar 27 2015

Asymptotic mean: Limit_{m->oo} (1/m) * Sum_{k=1..m} a(k) = Pi/2 = 1.570796... (A019669). - Amiram Eldar, Oct 17 2022
