COMMENTS
The exponential divisors of a number x = Product p(i)^r(i) are all numbers of the form Product p(i)^s(i) where s(i) divides r(i) for all i.
Wu gives a complicated Dirichlet g.f.
a(1) = 1 by convention. This is also required for a function to be multiplicative. - N. J. A. Sloane, Mar 03 2009
The inverse Moebius transform seems to be in A124315. The Dirichlet inverse appears to be related to A166234. - R. J. Mathar, Jul 14 2014

FORMULA
Multiplicative with a(p^e) = tau(e). - Vladeta Jovovic, Jul 23 2001
Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ A327837 * n. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Feb 27 2023
EXAMPLE
a(8)=2 because 2 and 2^3 are e-divisors of 8.
The sets of e-divisors start as:
1:{1}
2:{2}
3:{3}
4:{2, 4}
5:{5}
6:{6}
7:{7}
8:{2, 8}
9:{3, 9}
10:{10}
11:{11}
12:{6, 12}
13:{13}
14:{14}
15:{15}
16:{2, 4, 16}
17:{17}
18:{6, 18}
19:{19}
20:{10, 20}
21:{21}
22:{22}
23:{23}
24:{6, 24}
