%N a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} sigma(k)*2^(n-k) where sigma(k) = A000203(k) is the sum of divisors of k.

%C a(n) is the numerator of the unreduced fraction of the n-th partial sum of Sum_{k>=1} sigma(k)/2^k where the denominator of that unreduced fraction is 2^n. The partial sums converge to A066766 = 2.744033...
