%N Partial sums of the third power of the arithmetic derivative function A003415.

%C a(n) grows roughly like 0.66*n^4 as n->oo.

%C Note: 1^3 + 2^3 + 3^3 + 4^3 + 5^3 ... -> ~ (1/4)*n^4; the asymptotic similarity between the sum of powers of positive integers and the sum of powers of their derivatives stands also with sums in which the terms are higher powers, i.e., Sum_{j=1..n} j'^m -> k*n^(m+1) as Sum_{j=i..n} j^m -> h*n^(m+1) when n->oo, in other words, the ratio of the two sums is a constant.

%F a(n) = Sum_{j=1..n} (j')^3, where j' = A003415(j).

%e (1')^3 + (2')^3 + (3')^3 + (4')^3 + (5')^3 = 0+1+1+64+1 = 67, so a(5)=67.
