COMMENTS

Discriminants of imaginary quadratic fields with D=0,1 mod 4, D<0 (sequence gives -D).

n such that Langford-Skolem problem has a solution - see A014552.

A014494(n) = A000217(a(n)); complement of A042963. - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Oct 04 2004

Also called skew amenable numbers; a number n is skew amenable if there exist a set {a(i)} of integers satisfying the relations n = sum_(1,n) a(i) = -product_(1,n) a(i). Thus we have 8=1+1+1+1+1+1-2+4=-(1*1*1*1*1*1*(-2)*4). - Lekraj Beedassy (blekraj(AT)yahoo.com), Jan 07 2005

A139131(a(n)) = A078636(a(n)). - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Apr 10 2008

Possible nonpositive discriminants of quadratic equation a*x^2+b*x+c or discrminants of binary quadratic forms a*x^2+b*x*y+c^y^2 - Artur Jasinski (grafix(AT)csl.pl), Apr 28 2008

Contribution from Rick L. Shepherd (rshepherd2(AT)hotmail.com), Oct 29 2008: (Start)

Also, disregarding the 0 term, positive integers m such that, equivalently,

(i) +-1 +-2 +-... +-m is even for all choices of signs,

(ii) +-1 +-2 +-... +-m = 0 for some choices of signs,

(iii) for all -m <= k <= m, k = +-1 +-2 +-... +-(k-1) +-(k+1) +-(k+2) +-... +-m for at least one choice of signs. (End)
