Formula

G.f.: Sum_{k>=1} A007429(k)*x^k/(1 + x^k).

L.g.f.: log(Product_{k>=1} (1 + x^k)^(A007429(k)/k)) = Sum_{n>=1} a(n)*x^n/n.

From Amiram Eldar, May 26 2025: (Start)

Multiplicative with a(2^e) = (e+1)*(e+2)/2, and a(p^e) = (2*p^(e+3) - (e^2+5*e+6)*p^2 + (2*e^2+8*e+6)*p - e^2 - 3*e -2)/(2*(p-1)^3) for an odd prime p.

Dirichlet g.f: zeta(s-1) * zeta(s)^2 * (1 - 1/2^(s-1)).

Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ c * n^2, where c = Pi^6/864 = 1.112718... . (End)
