%N First of n consecutive integers whose sum is a positive n-th power, or 0 if no such integers exist.

%C No sum exists precisely when n == 0 (mod 4). a(2) = 0 is a legitimate value.

%C The sum is given by A076108(n) = A076109(n)^n for n != 0 (mod 4).

%C a(p) = p^(p-1) - (p-1)/2 for prime p.

%F a(n) = A076108(n)/n - (n-1)/2 for n != 0 (mod 4).

%F a(4k)=0; otherwise a(n) = (2*A076108(n)/n - n + 1)/2 = (2*p1^n*...*pm^n/n - n + 1)/2 where p1, ..., pm are all distinct odd primes dividing n. - _Max Alekseyev_, Jun 10 2005

%e a(3) = 8 as 8+9+10 = 27 = 3^3. a(6) = 119 as 119+120+...+124 = 729 = 3^6.

%o (PARI) for(n=1,30,t=n*(n-1)/2:f=0:for(r=1,10^4,if((r^n-t)%n==0,f=(r^n-t)/n:break)):print1(f","))

%o (PARI) {A076107(n)=if(n%4==0,return(0));m=n;if(m%2==0,m\=2);f=factorint(m)[,1];p=1;(2*prod(i=1,length(f),f[i])^n/n-n+1)/2} (Alekseyev)
