FORMULA
G.f.: Sum_{n >= 1} n^2*x^n/(1+x^n).
Multiplicative with a(2^e) = (2*4^e+1)/3, a(p^e) = (p^(2*e+2)-1)/(p^2-1), p > 2.
L.g.f.: -log(Product_{ k>0 } 1/(x^k+1)^k) = Sum_{ n>0 } (a(n)/n)*x^n. - Benedict W. J. Irwin, Jul 05 2016
G.f.: Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^(n+1) * x^n*(1 + x^n)/(1 - x^n)^3. - Peter Bala, Jan 14 2021
From Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 07 2022: (Start)
Dirichlet g.f.: zeta(s) * zeta(s-2) * (1 - 2^(1-s)).
Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ zeta(3) * n^3 / 4. (End)
