Formula

Moebius transform is period 16 sequence [ 1, -1, -1, -2, 1, 1, -1, 0, 1, -1, -1, 2, 1, 1, -1, 0, ...].

a(n) is multiplicative with a(2) = 0, a(2^e) = -2 if e>1, a(p^e) = e+1 if p == 1 (mod 4), a(p^e) = (1+(-1)^e)/2 if p == 3 (mod 4).

a(4*n+2) = a(4*n+3) = 0.

G.f.: x / (1 + x^2) + x^3 / (1 + x^6) - 2 * x^4 / (1 + x^8) + ...

a(n) = -(-1)^n * A113406(n). -2 * a(n) = A134014(n) unless n=0. a(4*n) = -2 * A002654(n). a(4*n + 1) = A008441(n).

Example

G.f. = x - 2*x^4 + 2*x^5 - 2*x^8 + x^9 + 2*x^13 - 2*x^16 + 2*x^17 + ...
