Formula

a(n) = Sum_{d|n, n/d==1 (mod 3)} d - Sum_{d|n, n/d==2 (mod 3)} d.

a(n) = A326399(n) - A326400(n).

Multiplicative with a(3^e) = 3^e, a(p^e) = (p^(e+1) - 1)/(p - 1) if p == 1 (mod 3), and (p^(e+1) + (-1)^e)/(p + 1) if p == 2 (mod 3). - Amiram Eldar, Oct 25 2020

Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ c * n^2, where c = (1/2) * Product_{primes p == 1 (mod 3)} 1/(1 - 1/p^2) * Product_{primes p == 2 (mod 3)} 1/(1 + 1/p^2) = (1/2) * A175646 * (2*Pi^2/27)/A340577 = 0.3906512064... . - Amiram Eldar, Nov 06 2022
