Formula

G.f.: Sum_{k>=2} (-1)^k * (k - 1) * x^k / (1 - x^k).

a(n) = Sum_{d|n} (-1)^d * (d - 1).

a(n) = A048272(n) - A002129(n).

Faster converging series: A(q) = Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^n*q^(n^2)*((n-1)*q^(3*n) + n*q^(2*n) + (n-2)*q^n + n-1)/((1 + q^n)*(1 - q^(2*n))) - apply the operator t*d/dt to equation 1 in Arndt, then set t = -q and x = q. - Peter Bala, Jan 22 2021
