FORMULA
|
a(n) is multiplicative with a(2^e) = 1 - 2^(e+1) if e > 0, a(p^e) = (p^(e+1) - 1) / (p - 1) if p > 2.
G.f.: Sum_{k>0} k * -(-x)^k / (1 - (-x)^k) = Sum_{k>0} -(-x)^k / (1 - (-x)^k)^2.
Dirichlet g.f.: zeta(s) * zeta(s-1) * (1 - 6 / 2^s + 4 / 4^s).
Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ -(Pi^2/48) * n^2. - Amiram Eldar, Oct 28 2023
