Comments

This is a subset of one half of A082174. See the formula.

This sequence is also one half of the total length of the A307359(n) cycles for discriminant 4*D(n), with D(n) = A000037(n). See the W. Lang link in A324251, Table 2, last column SigmaL(n) = 2*a(n). - Wolfdieter Lang, Apr 19 2019

Examples

			a(5) = 4 because the fifth even term of A079896 is at position e(5) = 8, and A082174(8)/2 = 4.
The 2*a(5) = 8 primitive reduced forms for discriminant 4*A000037(5) = 4*7 = 28 are [[-2, 2, 3], [2, 2, -3], [-3, 2, 2], [3, 2, -2], [-1, 4, 3], [1, 4, -3], [-3, 4, 1], [3, 4, -1]].
The preceding 8 forms give the 2 = A307359(5) 4-cycles CR(5) = [[1, 4, -3], [-3, 2, 2], [2, 2, -3], [-3, 4, 1]], the principal cycle with the principal reduced form [1, 4, -3], and the 4-cycle obtained from this by a sign flip of the outer form entries. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Apr 19 2019
