%N Sum of squares d^2 of distinct divisors of n, d in {2, 3, 5}.

%C The sequence is periodic with period {0 4 9 4 25 13 0 4 9 29 0 13 0 4 34 4 0 13 0 29 9 4 0 13 25 4 9 4 0 38} of length 30.

%C A generalization: let B={b_1,...,b_t} be a set of t positive (not necessarily distinct) integers and m>=0 an integer.

%C For m>=0, let A(n)=Sum d^m over divisors d of n which are elements of B (with the multiplicities as in B). Calculating directly values of

%C A(b_i),A(b_i+b_j),A(b_i+b_j+b_k),...,

%C A(b_1+...+b_t), for the other values of A(n) we have the recursion:

%C A(n)=Sum{1<=i<=t}A(n-b_i)- Sum{1<=i<j<=t}A(n-b_i-b_j)+...+((-1)^(t-1))*A(n-b_1-...-b_t), where we put A(n)=0, if n<0. Such sequence is lcm(b_1,...,b_t)-periodic.

%F a(n)= a(n-2) +a(n-3) -a(n-7)- a(n-8) +a(n-10), n>10.

%F By the comment, up to 10 it is sufficient to

%F calculate directly only values a(2)=4, a(3)=9, a(5)=25, a(7)=0, a(8)=4, a(10)=29.

%F For other n's we can use the recursion, accepting formally a(n)=0 for n<0. So a(1)=0; a(4)=a(2)+a(1)=4;a(6)=a(4)+a(3)=4+9=13,

%F a(9)=a(7)+a(6)-a(2)-a(1)=0+13-4+0=9.

%F a(n) = -2*a(n-1) -2*a(n-2) -a(n-3) +a(n-5) +2*a(n-6) +2*a(n-7) +a(n-8). - _R. J. Mathar_, Jul 13 2010
