%N A091069 Moebius mu sequence for real quadratic extension sqrt(2).
%C A091069 Analog of Moebius mu with sqrt(2) adjoined. Same as mu (A008683) except:
0 for even n (A005843) due to square (extended prime) factor (sqrt2)^2
and rational primes of the form 8k+/-1 (A001132) factor into conjugate
(extended prime) pairs (a + b sqrt2)(a - b sqrt2), thus contributing
+1 to the product instead of -1; e.g. 7 = (3+sqrt2)(3-sqrt2).
%C A091069 First, for even n a(n) must be 0 because 2 is a square in the quadratic
field and so the mu-analogue is 0. Of course this coincidentally
matches the 0's at even n in A087003. Further, from its definition
as a product, |a(n)| MUST be the same as that of |mu|. Since from
the above we know that A087003 is the same as mu at odd n, we can
conclude that |a(n)| = |A087003| for all n.
%D A091069 G. H. Hardy and E. M. Wright, An Introduction to the Theory of Numbers,
5th ed., Oxford Univ. Press, 1979, Theorem 256, p. 221.
%F A091069 Zero if n even or has a square prime factor, otherwise product 2-|p mod
8| for each prime p dividing n (i.e. +1 if p=8k+/-1, -1 if p=8k+/
-3).
%e A091069 a(21) = (-1)*(+1) = -1 because 21=3*7 which are respectively +3 and -1
mod 8
%Y A091069 Absolute values are the same as those of A087003.
