COMMENT

Multiplicative because it is the Inverse Moebius transform of [1 0 -3^2 0 5^2 0 -7^2 ...], which is multiplicative. Christian G. Bower (bowerc(AT)usa.net) May 18, 2005.

FORMULA

Multiplicative with a(p^e) = 1 if p = 2; ((p^2)^(e+1)-1)/(p^2-1) if p == 1 (mod 4); ((-p^2)^(e+1)-1)/(-p^2-1) if p == 3 (mod 4). - David W. Wilson, Sep 01, 2001

G.f.: Sum[n>=1, A056594(n-1)*n^2*q^n/(1-q^n) ].

Expansion of (1-theta_4(q)^2*theta_4(q^2)^4)/4 in powers of q. - Michael Somos Aug 09 2006

Expansion of (1-eta(q)^4*eta(q^2)^6/eta(q^4)^4)/4 in powers of q.

G.f.: qG'(q)/G(q), with G(q) = Prod[n>=1, (1-q^n)^(4n*A056594(n+1)) ].

EXAMPLE

The divisors of 15 are 1,3,5,15, so a(15)=(1^2+5^2)-(3^2+15^2) = -208.

PROGRAM

(PARI) {a(n)=if(n<1, 0, sumdiv(n, d, d^2*kronecker(-4, d)))} /* Michael Somos Aug 09 2006 */

CROSSREFS

Equals A050450(n) - A050453(n).
