FORMULA
G.f.: Sum_{k>=1} k^8*x^k/(1 + x^(2*k)). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Nov 26 2018
Multiplicative with a(p^e) = round(p^(8e+8)/(p^8 + (p mod 4) - 2)). (Following R. Israel in A321833.) - M. F. Hasler, Nov 26 2018
Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ c * n^9 / 9, where c = 277*Pi^9/8257536 (A258816). - Amiram Eldar, Nov 04 2023
a(n) = Sum_{d|n} (n/d)^8*sin(d*Pi/2). - Ridouane Oudra, Sep 27 2024
