COMMENTS
The notion of semi-unitary divisor was introduced by Chidambaraswamy in 1967.
A semi-unitary divisor of n is defined as the largest divisor d of n such that the largest divisor of d that is a unitary divisor of n/d is 1. In terms of the relation defined in A322482, d is the largest divisor of n such that T(d, n/d) = 1 (the largest divisor d that is semiprime to n/d).
The number of divisors of n that are exponentially odd numbers (A268335). - Amiram Eldar, Sep 08 2023

FORMULA
Multiplicative with a(p^e) = floor((e+3)/2).
a(n) <= A000005(n) with equality if and only if n is squarefree (A005117).
a(n) = Sum_{d|n} mu(d/gcd(d, n/d))^2. - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Feb 21 2020
a(n) = A000005(A019554(n)) (the number of divisors of the smallest number whose square is divisible by n). - Amiram Eldar, Sep 02 2023
From Vaclav Kotesovec, Sep 06 2023: (Start)
Dirichlet g.f.: zeta(s) * zeta(2*s) * Product_{p prime} (1 + 1/p^s - 1/p^(2*s)).
Dirichlet g.f.: zeta(s)^2 * zeta(2*s) * Product_{p prime} (1 - 2/p^(2*s) + 1/p^(3*s)).
Let f(s) = Product_{p prime} (1 - 2/p^(2*s) + 1/p^(3*s)).
Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ Pi^2 * f(1) * n / 6 * (log(n) + 2*gamma - 1 + 12*zeta'(2)/Pi^2 + f'(1)/f(1)), where
f(1) = Product_{p prime} (1 - 2/p^2 + 1/p^3) = A065464 = 0.42824950567709444...,
f'(1) = f(1) * Sum_{p prime} (4*p-3) * log(p) / (p^3 - 2*p + 1) = 0.808661108949590913395... and gamma is the Euler-Mascheroni constant A001620. (End)
EXAMPLE
The semi-unitary divisors of 8 are 1, 2, 8 (4 is not semi-unitary divisor since the largest divisor of 4 that is a unitary divisor of 8/4 = 2 is 2 > 1), and their number is 3, thus a(8) = 3.
