COMMENTS
The cyclic pattern (and numerator of the gf) is computed using Euclid's algorithm for GCD.
For n >= 2, a(n) is the number of different integers that can be written as floor(k^2/n) for k = 1, 2, 3, ..., n-1. Generalization of the 1st problem proposed during the 15th Balkan Mathematical Olympiad in 1998 where the question was asked for n = 1998 with a(1998) = 1498. - Bernard Schott, Apr 22 2022

FORMULA
G.f.: (1+x+x^2)*x^2/((1-x)*(1-x^4)). - Bruce Corrigan (scentman(AT)myfamily.com), Jul 03 2002
For all m>=0 a(4m)=0 mod 3; a(4m+1)=0 mod 3; a(4m+2)= 1 mod 3; a(4m+3) = 2 mod 3
a(n) = A002378(n) - A173562(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Feb 21 2010
a(n+1) = A140201(n) - A002265(n+1). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jan 26 2011
a(n) = n-1 - A002265(n-1) = ( A007310(n) + A057077(n+1) )/4 for n>0. a(n) = a(n-1)+a(n-4)-a(n-5) for n>4. - Bruno Berselli, Jan 28 2011
a(n) = 1/8*(6*n + 2*cos((Pi*n)/2) + cos(Pi*n) - 2*sin((Pi*n)/2) - 3). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Sep 18 2015
a(4n) = a(4n+1). - Altug Alkan, Sep 26 2015
Sum_{n>=2} (-1)^n/a(n) = Pi/(3*sqrt(3)) (A073010). - Amiram Eldar, Sep 29 2022
