cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

A050469 a(n) = Sum_{ d divides n, n/d=1 mod 4} d - Sum_{ d divides n, n/d=3 mod 4} d.

Multiplicative with a(p^e)=p^e if p=2, (p^(e+1)-1)/(p-1) if p==1 (mod 4), else (p^(e+1)+(-1)^e)/(p+1). - Michael Somos, May 02 2005
Multiplicative because it is the Dirichlet convolution of A000027 = n and A101455 = [1 0 -1 0 1 0 -1 ...], which are both multiplicative. - Christian G. Bower, May 17 2005
