a[1] = 1; a[n_] := (fi = FactorInteger[n]; Times @@ ((fi[[All, 1]] - 2)^fi[[All, 2]])); Table[a[n]^2, {n, 1, 100}] (* G. C. Greubel, Jun 11 2016 *)

Formula

Multiplicative with a(p^e) = ((p-2)^2)^e. If n = Product p(k)^e(k) then a(n) = Product ((p(k)-2)^2)^e(k).

a(2k) = 0 for k >= 1.

a(n) = A166586(n)^2.

Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ c * n^3, where c = 1 / (3 * Product_{p prime} (1 + 4/p^2)) = 0.08140990308... . - Amiram Eldar, Dec 15 2022
