G. C. Greubel, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1000
FORMULA
Multiplicative with a(p^e) = ((p-1)*(p-3))^e. If n = Product p(k)^e(k) then a(n) = Product ((p(k)-1)*(p(k)-3))^e(k).
a(3k) = 0 for k >= 1.
Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ c * n^3, where c = (2/Pi^2) / Product_{p prime} (1 + 3/p^2 + 1/p^3 - 3/p^4) = 0.06874072991... . - Amiram Eldar, Dec 15 2022
