This sequence is closely related to the arithmetic derivative A003415. Let P(x) be a polynomial with zeros in the prime factors p_k of n with multiplicity, defined as P(x) = Product_{p_k|n}(1-p_k) and P'(x) the derivative of P(x), then the product over all roots of P'(x) multiplied by A001222(n) gives us A003415(n). If we do the sum over all roots of P'(x) instead and multiply it by A001222(n), we will get a(n). Note that the roots of P'(x) may have complex values but because complex values will appear in conjugate pairs, the sum will be real.
FORMULA
a(A000040(n)) = 0.
PROG
(PARI) a(n)=local(f); if(n<1, 0, f=factor(n^(bigomega(n)-1)); sum(k=1, matsize(f)[1], f[k, 1]*f[k, 2]))
