FORMULA
a(n) = -Sum_{d|n} A106400(d).
a(n) = A000005(n) - 2*A356018(n).
a(n) = 2*A227872(n) - A000005(n).
a(n) = 0 iff n is in A230851.
a(n) == 1 (mod 2) iff n is a square (A000290).
a(2^n) = n + 1.
a(p*2^n) = 0 when p is an evil prime (A027699).
a(p^2*2^n) = n + 1 when p is an evil prime (A027699) and p^2 is odious, and when p is an odd odious prime (A027697) and p^2 is evil.
a(p^2*2^n) = -(n+1) when p is an evil prime and p^2 is also evil.
a(p^2*2^n) = 3*(n+1) when p is an odd odious prime and p^2 is also odious.
Asymptotic mean: Limit_{m->oo} (1/m) * Sum_{k=1..m} a(k) = -Sum_{k>=1} A106400(k)/k = 1.196283264... (A357762).
