Amiram Eldar, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000
FORMULA
Multiplicative with a(p^e) = 2 if e is odd that is larger than 1, and 1 otherwise.
a(n) >= 1, with equality if and only if n is in A335275.
a(n) <= n, with equality if and only if n is in A335988.
Asymptotic mean: Limit_{m->oo} (1/m) * Sum_{k=1..m} a(k) = zeta(2) * Product_{p prime} (1 - 1/p^2 + 1/p^3 - 1/p^4) = 1.12560687309375943599... .
MATHEMATICA
f[p_, e_] := If[e == 1 || EvenQ[e], 1, 2]; a[1] = 1; a[n_] := Times @@ f @@@ FactorInteger[n]; Array[a, 100]
PROG
(PARI) a(n) = {my(f = factor(n)); prod(i = 1, #f~, if(f[i, 2] == 1 || !(f[i, 2]%2), 1, 2)); }
