A003627 \ {2}. - R. J. Mathar, Oct 28 2008
Conjecture: Product_{n >= 1} ((a(n) - 1) / (a(n) + 1)) * ((A002476(n) + 1) / (A002476(n) - 1)) = 3/4. - Dimitris Valianatos, Feb 11 2020
From Vaclav Kotesovec, May 02 2020: (Start)
Product_{k>=1} (1 + 1/a(k)^2) = A334482.
Product_{k>=1} (1 - 1/a(k)^3) = A334480.
Product_{k>=1} (1 + 1/a(k)^3) = A334479. (End)
Legendre symbol (-3, a(n)) = -1 and (-3, A002476(n)) = +1, for n >= 1. For prime 3 one sets (-3, 3) = 0. - Wolfdieter Lang, Mar 03 2021
