László Tóth, Alternating Sums Concerning Multiplicative Arithmetic Functions, Journal of Integer Sequences, Vol. 20 (2017), Article 17.2.1.
FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} (-1)^(k+1) * A034448(k).
a(n) = -c * n^2 + O(n * log(n)^(5/3)), where c = Pi^2/(84*zeta(3)) = 0.0977451984014... (Tóth, 2017).
MATHEMATICA
usigma[n_] := Times @@ (1 + Power @@@ FactorInteger[n]); usigma[1] = 1; Accumulate[Array[(-1)^(# + 1) * usigma[#] &, 100]]
PROG
(PARI) usigma(n) = {my(f = factor(n)); prod(i = 1, #f~, 1 + f[i, 1]^f[i, 2]); }
lista(kmax) = {my(s = 0); for(k = 1, kmax, s += (-1)^(k+1) * usigma(k); print1(s, ", "))};
