Amiram Eldar, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000
FORMULA
Multiplicative with a(p^2) = 1, and a(p^e) = p^e if e != 2.
a(n) = n / A368884(n).
a(n) >= 1, with equality if and only if n is in A062503.
a(n) <= n, with equality if and only if n is in A337050.
Dirichlet g.f.: zeta(s-1) * Product_{p prime} (1 - 1/p^(2*s-2) + 1/p^(2*s) + 1/p^(3*s-3) - 1/p^(3*s-1)).
Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ c * n^2 / 2, where c = Product_{p prime} (1 - 1/p^2 + 1/p^3 + 1/p^4 - 1/p^5) = 0.78357388280736936739... .
MATHEMATICA
f[p_, e_] := If[e == 2, 1, p^e]; 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, f[i, 1]^f[i, 2])); }
