%C A329586 See A329585 for details and examples (there n is called m).
%C A329586 For the number of all representative solutions z^2 = +1 (mod n), for n >= 1, with z = a + b*i, where a and b are nonnegative integers, see A227091.
%F A329586 a(1) = 1, a(2) = 2 (special case), and for n >= 3: a(n) =  2^{r2(e2) + r1 + r3} + delta_{r2(e2),0} * delta_{r3,0}*2^r1, where r1 = r1(n) and r3 = r3(n) are the number of the distinct odd primes congruent to 1 and 3 modulo 4, respectively, in the prime number factorization of n, and  r2(e2) = 0, 1 and 2 if the power e2 of the even prime 2 is 0 (odd n case) or 1, 2 and >= 3, respectively, and delta is the Kronecker symbol. a(n) is always a nonnegative power of 2. (See A329585 for a sketch of the proof.)
