FORMULA
Multiplicative with a(2^e) = sigma(2^(2e)) = 2^(2e+1) - 1, a(p^e) = sigma(p^e)^2 = ((p^(e+1) - 1)/(p - 1))^2 if p == 1 (mod 4) and sigma_2(p^e) = A001157(p^e) = (p^(2e+2) - 1)/(p^2 - 1) if p == 3 (mod 4).
EXAMPLE
Let ||d|| denote the norm of d.
a(2) = ||1|| + ||1 + i|| + ||2|| = 1 + 2 + 4 = 7.
a(5) = ||1|| + ||2 + i|| + ||2 - i|| + ||5|| = 1 + 5 + 5 + 25 = 36. Note that 2 - i and 1 + 2i are associated so their norm is only counted once.
