Comments

Coefficients in expansion of Dirichlet series Product_p (1-(Kronecker(m,p)+1)*p^(-s) + Kronecker(m,p)*p^(-2s))^(-1) for m = 2.

Let zetaQ(sqrt(2))(s) = Sum (1/(Z(sqrt(2)):A)^s), a Dedekind zeta function, where A runs through the nonzero ideals of Z(sqrt(2)) and where (Z(sqrt(2)):A) is the norm of A; then zetaQ(sqrt(2))(s) = Sum_{n>=1}, a(n)/n^s); Sum{k=1..n} a(k) is asymptotic to c*n where c = log(1 + sqrt(2))/sqrt(2). - Benoit Cloitre, Jan 01 2003

Inverse Moebius transform of A091337.

a(n) is the number of solutions to the equation n = x^2 - 2*y^2 in integers where -x < 2*y <= x. [Uspensky and Heaslet] - Michael Somos, Feb 17 2020

Coefficients of Dedekind zeta function for the quadratic number field of discriminant 8. See A002324 for formula and Maple code. - N. J. A. Sloane, Mar 22 2022

Examples

			G.f. = x + x^2 + x^4 + 2*x^7 + x^8 + x^9 + 2*x^14 + x^16 + 2*x^17 + x^18 + ...
a(7) = 2 because 7 = 3^2 - 2*(+1)^2 = 3^2 - 2*(-1)^2. - _Michael Somos_, Feb 17 2020
