FORMULA
a(n) = phi(n)*mu(n/gcd(n, 4)) / phi(n/gcd(n, 4)).
Dirichlet g.f.: (1+2^(1-s)+4^(1-s))/zeta(s). [Titchmarsh] - R. J. Mathar, Mar 26 2011
Lambert series and a consequence: Sum_{n >= 1} c_n(4) * z^n / (1 - z^n) = Sum_{s|4} s * z^s and -Sum_{n >= 1} (c_n(4) / n) * log(1 - z^n) = Sum_{s|4} z^s for |z| < 1 (using the principal value of the logarithm). - Petros Hadjicostas, Aug 24 2019
From Amiram Eldar, Jan 21 2024: (Start)
Multiplicative with a(2) = 1, a(2^2) = 2, a(2^3) = -4, and a(2^e) = 0 for e >= 4, and for an odd prime p, a(p) = -1, and a(p^e) = 0 for e >= 2.
Sum_{k=1..n} abs(a(k)) ~ (10/Pi^2) * n. (End)
MATHEMATICA
a[n_] := EulerPhi[n] * MoebiusMu[n/GCD[n, 4]] / EulerPhi[n/GCD[n, 4]]; Table[ a[n], {n, 1, 105}]

PROG
(PARI) a(n)=eulerphi(n)*moebius(n/gcd(n, 4))/eulerphi(n/gcd(n, 4))
