From Bernard Schott, Aug 31 2021 and Sep 16 2021: (Start)
Apart from 0, integers such that the number of even divisors (A183063) is odd.
Proof: every n = 2^q * (2k+1), q, k >= 0, then 2*n^2 = 2^(2q+1) * (2k+1)^2; now, gcd(2, 2k+1) = 1, tau(2^(2q+1)) = 2q+2 and tau((2k+1)^2) = 2u+1 because (2k+1)^2 is square, so, tau(2*n^2) = (2q+2) * (2u+1).
The 2q+2 divisors of 2^(2q+1) are {1, 2, 2^2, 2^3, ..., 2^(2q+1)}, so 2^(2q+1) has 2q+1 even divisors {2^1, 2^2, 2^3, ..., 2^(2q+1)}.
Conclusion: these 2q+1 even divisors create with the 2u+1 odd divisors of (2k+1)^2 exactly (2q+1)*(2u+1) even divisors of 2*n^2, and (2q+1)*(2u+1) is odd. (End)

			a(3) = 18; since 2(3) = 6 has 3 partitions with exactly two parts: (5,1), (4,2), (3,3).  Adding all the parts, we get: 1 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 18. - _Wesley Ivan Hurt_, Jun 01 2013
