2^a(n) = A060594

FORMULA

a(n) = A005087(n) + i, where i may be 0, 1 or 2 according as 2^j divides n, respectively with j <= 1, j=2 or j>=3, (i.e. i=0 when n is not divisible by 4; i=1 when n is divisible by 4 but not by 8; i=2 when n is divisible by 8).

MATHEMATICA

Log[2, Table[cnt=0; Do[If[Mod[k^2-1, n]==0, cnt++ ], {k, n}]; cnt, {n, 150}]] (Noe)
