COMMENT

a(n)=2*A060594 (n) for n=5,10,13,15,16,17,20,25,26,29,..This subsequence, which contains all the primes of form 4k+1, seems to be asymptotic to 2n.

Multiplicative with a(p^e) = p^min(e-1, 3) if p = 2, 4 if p == 1 (mod 4), 2 if p == 3 (mod 4). David W. Wilson (davidwwilson(AT)comcast.net) Jun 09, 2005.

FORMULA

sum(k=1, n, a(k)) seems to be asymptotic to C*n*Log(n) with C>1.4...(when sum(k=1, A060594(k)) is asymptotic to C/2*n*Log(n) )

In fact, sum(k=1, n, a(k)) is asymptotic to c*n*log(n)^2 where 2*c=0.190876... [From S. R. Finch (Steven.Finch(AT)inria.fr), Aug 12 2009]
