Moebius transform of A285989.
FORMULA
G.f.: x * (1 + 15*x + 76*x^2 + 165*x^3 + 230*x^4 + 165*x^5 + 76*x^6 + 15*x^7 + x^8)/(1 - x^2)^5.
G.f.: Sum_{k>=1} J_4(k) * x^k/(1 - x^(2*k)), where J_4() is the Jordan function (A059377).
Dirichlet g.f.: zeta(s-4) * (1 - 1/2^s).
a(n) = n^4 * (31 - (-1)^n)/32.
a(n) = Sum_{d|n, n/d odd} J_4(d).
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = 241*Pi^4/21600 = 1.086832913851601267313987...
Multiplicative with a(2^e) = 15*2^(4*e-4), and a(p^e) = p^(4*e) for odd primes p. - Amiram Eldar, Oct 26 2020
