COMMENTS
Density of nonzero terms is 0.85317570460439... = Product(1 - p^-p + p^-(p+1)) where p runs over the primes. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Jan 23 2012 [corrected by Amiram Eldar, Jan 14 2023]
FORMULA
Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ c * n^2, where c = (Pi^4/72) * Product_{p prime} ((1 - 1/p^5 + 2/p^4 + 2/p^3 - 4/p^2)*(1 - p - 3*p^2 + p^3 + p^4 + 2*p^(2-2*p))/(1 - p - 3*p^2 + p^3 + p^4)) = 0.2228124152... . - Amiram Eldar, Jan 14 2023
