FORMULA
Multiplicative with a(2^e) = 2^(2*e-1), a(p^e) = (p^2-1)*p^(2*e-2) if p mod 4=3 and a(p^e) = (p-1)^2*p^(2*e-2) if p mod 4=1.
a(n) = A003557(n)^2 * a(A007947(n)), where a(2)=2, a(p)=(p-1)^2 for prime p=1(mod 4), a(p)=p^2-1 for prime p=3(mod 4), and a(n*m)=a(n)*a(m) for n coprime to m. - Jason Kimberley, Nov 16 2015
From Amiram Eldar, Feb 13 2024: (Start)
Dirichlet g.f.: zeta(s-2) * (1 - 1/2^(s-1)) * Product_{p prime > 2} (1 - 1/p^(s-1) - (-1)^((p-1)/2)*(p-1)/p^s).
Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) = c * n^3 / 3 + O(n^2 * log(n)), where c = (3/4) * Product_{p prime > 2} (1 - 1/p^2 - (-1)^((p-1)/2)*(p-1)/p^3) = (3/4) * A334427 * Product_{p prime == 1 (mod 4)} (1 - 2/p^2 + 1/p^3) = 0.6498027559... (Calderón et al., 2015). (End)
a(n) = A204617(n)*A062570(n). - Ridouane Oudra, Jun 05 2024
