COMMENTS
For any n > 0, n^2 + 1 cannot be a square and thus has an even number of divisors which always include 1 and n^2 + 1, therefore a(n) = (half that number minus 1) is always a nonnegative integer.

a(n) = A000005(A002522(n))/2 - 1 = A147810(n) - 1.
Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ c * n * log(n), where c = 3/(2*Pi) = 0.477464... (A093582). - Amiram Eldar, Dec 01 2023
