COMMENT

Solutions mod p are represented by integers from 0 to p-1. For p > 2: If x^2 = 2 has a solution mod p, then it has exactly two solutions and their sum is p; i is a solution mod p of x^2 = 2 iff p-i is a solution mod p of x^2 = 2. No integer occurs more than once in this sequence. Moreover, no integer (except 0) occurs both in this sequence and in sequence A059770 of the first solutions (Cf. A059772).

FORMULA

a(n) = second (larger) solution of x^2 = 2 mod p, where p is the n-th prime such that x^2 = 2 mod p has a solution, i.e. p is the n-th term of A038873. a(n) = 0 if x^2 = 2 mod p has one solution (only for p = 2).

EXAMPLE

a(6) = 24 since 41 is the sixth term of A038873, 17 and 24 are the solutions mod 41 of x^2 = 2 and 24 is the larger one.
