COMMENT
|
Also called Sylvester-Pell cyclotomic numbers. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Apr 15 2005
According to Guy, Raphael Robinson noticed that a(7) and a(30) are squares and asked if there are more. There are no others in the first 10000 terms. [From T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com), May 07 2009]

FORMULA

a(n) = A000129(n) / product_{d<n,d|n} a(d) [From T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com), May 07 2009]
a(n)=product{k=1..n-1, if(gcd(n, k)=1, (1+sqrt(2))-(1-sqrt(2))*exp(2*pi*I*k/n), 1)}, I=sqrt(-1) - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Apr 15 2005

EXAMPLE
|
a(8)=34 because pell(8)=408 and 408/(a(4)*a(2)*a(1)) = 408/12 = 34. [From T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com), May 07 2009]
