Formula

Dirichlet g.f.: zeta(s-1)*(1 - 16/17^s). - R. J. Mathar, Apr 18 2011

a(n) = 2*a(n-17) - a(n-34). - G. C. Greubel, Feb 19 2019

From Amiram Eldar, Nov 25 2022: (Start)

Multiplicative with a(17^e) = 17^(e-1), and a(p^e) = p^e if p != 17.

Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ (273/578) * n^2. (End)

Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = 33*log(2)/17. - Amiram Eldar, Sep 08 2023
