FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{d|n, gcd(d, n/d)=1, d square} (-1)^(d+1).
Multiplicative with a(2^e) = 1 if e is odd and 0 if e is even, and for p > 2, a(p^e) = 1 if e is odd and 2 if e is even.
Dirichlet g.f.: (zeta(s)*zeta(2*s)/zeta(3*s)) * (4^s + 2^s - 1)/(4^s + 2^s + 1).
Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ c * n, where c = 5*zeta(2)/(7*zeta(3)) = 0.977451984014... .
MATHEMATICA
f[p_, e_] := If[OddQ[e], 1, 2]; f[2, e_] := If[OddQ[e], 1, 0]; a[1] = 1; a[n_] := Times @@ f @@@ FactorInteger[n]; Array[a, 100]
PROG
(PARI) a(n) = {my(f = factor(n)); prod(i = 1, #f~, if(f[i, 2]%2, 1, if(f[i, 1] == 2, 0, 2))); }
