Formula

Multiplicative with a(p^e) = (-1)^e*(p+1)*p^(e-1), e>0. a(1)=1.

a(n) = mu(n) * A061019(n) = A008683(n) * A061019(n) = A061020(n) * A007427(n) = A061020(n) * A007428(n) * A000012(n) = A007427(n) * A000012(n) * A061019(n) = A007428(n) * A000005(n) * A061019(n), where operation * denotes Dirichlet convolution. Dirichlet convolution of functions b(n), c(n) is function a(n) = b(n) * c(n) = Sum_{d|n} b(d)*c(n/d).

Inverse Moebius transform gives A061019.

a(n) = (-1)^A001222(n)*A001615(n).

Apparently the Dirichlet inverse of A048250. - R. J. Mathar, Jul 15 2010

Dirichlet g.f.: zeta(2*s-2)/(zeta(s-1)*zeta(s)). - Amiram Eldar, Jan 05 2023

Example

a(72) = a(2^3*3^2) = (-1)^3*(2+1)*2^(3-1) * (-1)^2*(3+1)*3^(2-1) = (-12)*12 = -144.

Mathematica

f[p_, e_] := (-1)^e*(p + 1)*p^(e - 1); a[1] = 1; a[n_] := Times @@ f @@@ FactorInteger[n]; Array[a, 100] (* Amiram Eldar, Jan 05 2023 *)

Prog

(PARI) a(n) = {my(f = factor(n)); prod(i = 1, #f~, (-1)^f[i, 2]*(f[i, 1]+1)*f[i, 1]^(f[i, 2]-1)); } \\ Amiram Eldar, Jan 05 2023
