FORMULA
a(4*n) = 16*A018804(n); a(4*n+2) = 4*A018804(2*n+1); a(4*n+r) = A018804(4*n+r) for r = 1 and 3.
a(n) = Sum_{d divides n} gcd(4, d)*phi(d)*n/d, where phi(n) = A000010(n)
Multiplicative: a(2^k) = k*2^(k+1) for k >= 1; for odd prime p, a(p^k) = (k + 1)*p^k - k*p^(k-1).
Define D(n) = Sum_{d divides n} a(d). Then
D(4*n+r) = (4*n + r)*tau(4*n+r) for r = 1 and r = 3, where tau(n) = A000005(n), the number of divisors of n.
D(4*n+2) = (5/4)*(4*n + 2)*tau(4*n+2).
The sequence defined for n >= 1 by u(n) = (1/4)*( D(4*n) - D(n) ) begins {5, 16, 30, 44, 50, 96, 70, 112, 135, 160, 110, 264, 130, 224, 300, 272, 170, 432, 190, 440, 420, 352, ...} and appears to be multiplicative: that is, u(1)*u(n*m) = u(n)*u(m) for n and m coprime.
Dirichlet g.f.: (1 + 4/4^s)/(1 - 1/2^s) * zeta(s-1)^2/zeta(s).
Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ n^2 * (5*log(n) - 5/2 + 10*gamma - 11*log(2)/3 - 30*zeta'(2)/Pi^2) / Pi^2, where gamma is the Euler-Mascheroni constant A001620. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jan 12 2024
